Net neutrality still an issue

Net neutrality is defined as "the principle that all content transmitted over a cable or a phone company's network be treated equally and without preference," according to an article "Thanks to BitTorrent, Net Neutrality Debate Reignites."

One of the worst net neutrality incidents in the article is when Verizon denied a pro-abortion group to use text messaging for a campaign.

Regulation of the Internet is not fair for people who don't have big corporations backing up their websites, blogs, and accounts. The people in power can pick and choose what can be seen on the web and what can't.

"The whole Net neutrality issue is really about a power struggle," he said. "It all comes down to a scenario where the phone companies and cable operators want to call all the shots about which applications enter the market. And while that may be good for them, I'd argue it's very bad for the country."

The definition of net neutrality is great in concept but hard to regulate in a free market economy. All companies should get equal treatment on the Internet but who knows if that will ever happen.
