Net Neutrality

The main arguments about net neutrality is whether people's content on the internet should be treated equally, should internet users be able to look at any content they want and do network owners reserve the right to charge for using their networks.  

Companies such as Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft are pro-net neutrality.  These companies argue that the network companies could unfairly discriminate content that passes through their networks.  They also argue that internet users will experience different internet speeds depending on which internet carrier they have.

Companies that are anti-net neutrality are AT&T, Sprint, and Cisco.  These companies argue that if they get rid of net neutrality then it will ease internet traffic.  They also say that it would encourage people to make more investments in network carriers.  New applications such as VoIP and internet games require packets to be delivered faster and without net neutrality network companies can fulfill that requirement. 

My opinion is that we should keep net neutrality.  Like that old saying "If it ain't broken then don't fix it." the internet is fine just how it is and it doesn't not need changes.  Non-net neutrality could result in a monopoly.  Then network carriers could charge as much as they want because of no competition.  Without net neutrality, the internet will die.
