AOW #23: In a Nutshell: Net Neutrality

Has the FCC gone to far with internet access? We the people of the United States have the right to have access to the internet for a small monthly fee, But we shouldn't be forced to have it or consider it a utility of any sort, or perhaps give more internet to the rich people. Everyone should be treated equal no matter what their net income is you should not be able to purchase a ridiculous amount of internet and cause the lower class to get the crappier end of the deal. Nor should you have rules on what people can view on the internet that is violating our rights due to the constitution.

If we want to browse the internet for whatever we want i think we have the right to know what it is no matter what secrets hide on the internet, if you are going to put them on the internet then they should not be kept a secret. I do not see how other companies will allow them to be able to do this because they want to give a good amount of money to them. Money should have nothing to do with the access of the internet I think everyone in the world should have the option to have internet, and if they do not want it then they do not have to purchase it.

As Wheeler stated in the article “This is no more a plan to regulate the Internet than the First Amendment is a plan to regulate free speech” (CBS News 2). As our first amendment states we shall have privacy to the online publicity of the world, the government should have no part in what is banned on the internet or can not be viewed by some viewers. I think having internet is our choice and no one should step in the middle and tell us that we have to have it or that they are going to sell better internet to those that can afford it.
