billions of interconnected computers (Economides 2008).

As you can see, your ISP is what connects your computer to the
internet, which other computers and servers connect to via their
ISP. There are several ways to connect to the ISP, which include
using a dial-up modem over a phone line, cable, or satellite.

10. This chart shows the world’s Internet restrictions. Internet black
holes mean that data information is really sucked up in a void
meaning that it is there but it will just keep coming and coming. A
lot of smaller under developed countries surveillance their Internet
like Iran that blocks twitter feeds because of the recent Iran
elections. Some countries as you can see have minor or no
restrictions on the Internet.

19. Politics & Net NeutralityPolitics & Net Neutrality
Most democrats agree with net neutrality and republicans
disagree with it. Republicans are telling Obama that net
Neutrality laws are harmful (Karr 2009). Let it be known the
net was neutral since its beginning. The way the internet
is now is the way it always has been. Our stance is it
should stay this way.
20. These are companies that have shown top contributions of money
to representative republican Joe Barton of Texas for fighting
against net neutrality. These are the top companies who help run
the Internet.
Economic Contributions Against Net NeutralityEconomic Contributions Against Net Neutrality
21. EconomicsEconomics
Net Neutrality is the building block of the abundance-based
economy on the Internet. Significantly effecting the dollars
that we would have back in our pockets, online publishers
would, under “Net Neutrality” be able to raise its cost of
publishing back to its former level. When Net Neutrality ends,
the monopoly begins again. Sites like West Seattle Blog are
profitable because of this reason.
22. Philosophy & Net NeutralityPhilosophy & Net Neutrality
• The philosophy of Net Neutrality is broken up into three
course beliefs.
• First, Digital technology, if unshackled is a powerful means
for creating an egalitarian society.
• Secondly, the end-to-end design of the Internet is open to
innovation.

• Third, and lastly, market players should not control the Internet
(Cleland 2009). Those who believe in Network Neutrality generally
have a strong stance on the freedom of speech. The people on
Network Neutrality also want to make it clear that they do not
want to force ISP’s to avoid “differentiating” themselves. What
they don’t want is for them to do it in ways that is determined
“out of bounds” (Anderson 2009).
24. • Our culture is a very dynamic
one. Throughout the years it
has seen many changes;
• Even more changes are
brought by technological
innovations, such as the
internet.
Culture & Net NeutralityCulture & Net Neutrality
25. Culture & Net Neutrality ContinuedCulture & Net Neutrality Continued
The way our culture communicates has been changed by the
internet. Never before has instant communication from
countries from all over the world been possible in such a new
way.
This opens the issue of Net Neutrality with countries who wish
to censor or silence their populace.
26. Legal IssuesLegal Issues
Who has the right to hold the reigns to the Internet?
Do the telecommunication companies own the
Internet?
•The answer is no. Telecommunication companies are
merely a means to an end. In other words, they are merely
the gateway to the Internet; they don’t own the Internet
themselves.
•Telecommunication companies should be concerned with
providing the best product to their customers rather than
limiting their output. If they decide to change the current
system, assuredly the people would not stand for it, nobody
wants a regulated Internet (Press 2006).
27. For fair market competition, internet service
providers should be able to facilitate a similar
experience for a similar price across the board,
otherwise connecting to the internet will become a
monopoly scheme directed towards the highest
bidding telecommunication company that provides
the best plan.

28. Arguments Against Net NeutralityArguments Against Net Neutrality
Argument:Argument:
•Net Neutrality would keep broadband access providers from offering
more than one service
Rebuttal:Rebuttal:
•With Net Neutrality, you are offered a choice. If the internet was not
neutral you would be forced to utilize certain products dictated by
the service provider, to illustrate this metaphorically, this would be
like being forced to use Pepsi or Coke depending on the restaurants
(internet service provider) you are utilizing.
•But the difference between Internet service providers & restaurants
is that you have the freedom to go to a different restaurant or store
to obtain your preferred soda. If where you live determines what
service provider you use, or if the government of your country is
running the internet, there is no where for you to turn to get the
products or services you desire (websites, etc.)
29. AT&T claims that 5% of its users use over 50% of the
bandwidth. Sandvine reports that over 44% of its Internet
traffic comes from file sharing. While these numbers may
sound drastic, they still do not justify discrimination on the
Internet. Claiming the fears of people to be irrational, those
who oppose Network Neutrality do not look at the possible
scenarios of a broadband future (Davis 2009).

30. Concluding StatementsConcluding Statements
In conclusion, the Internet should be a neutral place for all
of its users. Not all cars are created are the same, but all
should be allowed on the highway. The same is true with
Internet traffic. File sharing and increased usage, as well
as profits are all issues to the Internet corporations. What
this is about, though, is the consumer. It’s the consumer
that the corporations should cater too, and it’s the
consumer that counts.
