Its neutrality internet is dead.
At least that is the verdict of the United States District Court of Appeals, now heard by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The principles of network neutrality generally predict that network management by providers should be transparent and that ISPs can not engage in practices that prevent, prevent or discriminate against websites, services or miscellaneous Internet traffic protocols.
This is the story in a few words and without being, served with a bunch of acronyms (FCC, ISP, etc.). But why should you worry about abolishing the neutrality of the internet?
1. If network neutrality no longer exists it means that providers will be able to discriminate against the content they dislike. Perhaps this does not seem worrying to you, but think of a website that you visit often does not like.
Each of us accesses the Internet from a service provider Internet – such as OTE, HOL, VODAFONE, WIND, CYTA and others. According to the principles of neutrality, providers should treat all content on the internet in the same way. They don't, say, have the right to slow down a website because a competitor might have paid them. (Maybe you don't care as Greece does not thrive on entanglement)
2. If there are no longer the neutrality principles, providers will be able to force websites to pay to have faster lines for content delivery.
3. Without the principles of web neutrality, small businesses, small blogs and small websites that will not have to pay will begin to disappear. If providers get the power to accept payments to provide faster loading times for a website, all small and personal websites will suffer from a slow delivery of content.
4. Without the Internet neutrality principles, entire online protocols and services, such as Netflix, are in jeopardy.
His protocol BitTorrent let's say it's a much-loved service for millions of people, it can suddenly stop working, or not work the way you've known it. How; Very simply because the providers who have "taken" them from various Companies who own the copyright decide to stop peer-to-peer, or all online video streaming.
5. Without the neutrality of the network, your providers can earn even more money without providing improved services.
Right now, broadband is quite slow. It is slow because the providers are already making enough money with the slow, lower quality Internet. But the same is true of all Greeks. Consider giving a little (or very little) higher quality Internet to those who are "crushing" them and leaving the rest of Greece with no service, or with lower quality services.
Now that net neutrality will cease to exist, providers will be able to make even more money from the same customers. They won't have to improve service or bring Internet to areas where it doesn't exist, because they'll be able to keep increasing the income providing them increasingly faster internet to the same customers. At least to those who will bear his price.
