- 10. FCC & NetNeutrality The FCC is the one who has come up with the “rules” There are three rules that have been created i) Transparency. Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services ii) No blocking. Fixed broadband providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; mobile broadband providers may not block lawful Web sites, or block applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services iii) No unreasonable discrimination. Fixed broadband providers may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-09-23/html/2011-24259.htm

The rules simplified i) Add transparency to how broadband providers--both wired and wireless--manage networks. ii) Prohibit wired broadband providers from blocking lawful content, applications, services, and non-harmful devices. Wireless providers are also barred from blocking lawful websites or applications that compete with voice or video services iii) Forbid wired broadband providers from discriminating in the transmission of lawful network traffic. http://www.pcworld.com/article/240505/fcc_publishes_net_neutrality_rules.html

Internet 2 In the simplest form Internet 2 is the newest form of connected networks that will have faster speeds and more bandwidth. “The Internet2 Network is a dynamic, innovative and cost-effective hybrid optical and packet network designed to deliver to the research and education community next-generation production services as well as a development platform for new networking ideas and protocols. With a community-owned infrastructure, the Internet2 Network provides the scalability member institutions need to efficiently manage resources and meet bandwidth-intensive requirements ranging from collaborative applications like videoconferencing to global-scale distributed research, from grid-based data analysis to social networking. http://www.internet2.edu/network/

- 17. Net Neutrality &its Effect on E-Commerce “Pro” for net Neutrality “Cons” for net Neutrality •Doesn’t allow •Providers loose possible providers to charge revenue source. to use parts of internet •Grey area activities will possible become illegal. •Cleanses the (music downloading, internet of illegal movies, ect) activity. •Increased competition •Protects might possible lead to copyrighted material “price wars”
- 18. Our Position We believethat the government should step in to create laws and “police” the internet for acts that are blatantly illegal and wrong. We do however feel that should be the end of government mandating as we feel the internet should be “free” in the sense of how people stay connected or use the internets resources. In relation to the FCC’s rules, we feel they are creating a good groundwork to fight the emerging illegal content that is appearing on the internet that creates a unlevel playing field for established companies working outside the internet. Specifically we believe rule ii is “right on the money” in how it blocks internet providers to block the internet in ways that might “compete with their voice or video telephony services”.
