At least that’s what the F.C.C said with their approval of the net neutrality rules, by voting 3-2 in its favor in the New York Times article by Ruiz and Lohr.  This was a very important ruling because now internet service providers will not be able to charge websites to increase their speed or slow them down if they don’t pay.  Being able to control the speed at which a website delivers data is a very powerful thing; the bigger corporations or media conglomerates would be able to control how we process information unless you don’t mind waiting for the other sites to load up. I mean it’s already hard to find websites that aren’t being controlled by big business, these niche sites would be quickly left behind by the faster moving giants.  This control would have also served as an added gatekeeper for information you would have to pay a fee at the gate for fast delivery.  Not to mention this would have damaged the original purpose of the internet which was (and still is) for people to share information with one another.  Hopefully reclassifying broadband or wireless connections as a utility will help keep internet service providers away for now or until they find the next loophole to try and regulate the speed of information.
