Internet Neutrality

The internet is one of the greatest inventions ever created by man. It allows us to watch videos, and gives us a world of information in the blink of an eye. However, the United States is in a major discussion to change the way we browse the internet.

Net Neutrality is an agreement between all internet providers to receive equal amounts of power to their servers so that all internet websites can be ran at equal speeds so that one is not faster than the other. This is largely important. If the wealthier corporations are able to pay for faster internets and streaming, it will run the small internet servers out of business and cause a monopoly. As for the consumers, if we use the internet corporations that have faster streaming, the consumers would have to pay more for their services because the corporations are paying more for faster internet streaming.

The FCC controls which internet servers get more power or less power to their servers. If internet neutrality is eliminated, the FCC will give more power to internet corporations who pay more for faster streaming, and the less wealthy who can not afford faster internet will no longer exist. I personally do not want to see this passed by our government because monopolies will begin to grow and that will ruin innovation for the future of the internet.
