I'm confused. The article claims
"“net neutrality,” allows internet service providers
(ISPs) to discriminate between different types of internet
traffic (a “fast lane” for video and social media, for
example) in an attempt to help further competition and
promote innovation"
and in so doing appears to conflate the FCC's new rule proposals with the abstract principle of net neutrality, which the rules would explicitly contravene.
Is some clarification possible here?
- minimaxir 12y agoI took that directly from the first paragraph on the FCC's Open Internet brief: http://www.fcc.gov/openinternet http://www.fcc.gov/openinternet
- LukeB_UK 12y agoThe first paragraph on the FCC's Open Internet brief and what you wrote are very different. You claim that net neutrality allows discrimination. The FCC's first paragraph says it doesn't.
- minimaxir 12y agoYou're right. Working on an edit now.
- benblu 12y agoAs LukeB pointed out, you've reversed the meaning of the term. I strongly recommend fixing this -- you really risk confusing the layperson and the debate.
