Net neutrality

This article talks about net neutrality and how if we continue to use net neutrality, the infrastructure would remain “dumb” because every website would have the same delivery rate; this means that no website would get more high speed internet for their website over other websites. If net neutrality were to be abolished, websites would get more privilege over other websites if they pay a certain fee for the high broadband internet service. There is not a bill the supports or does not support net neutrality in the United States, instead there are guideline rules that telecommunication services have to follow. These guidelines restrict certain websites having more privilege over others. Also, the internet is an important topic because the internet has always been open to everyone, which means that everyone has the same kind of access to the same content. Net neutrality has been receiving a lot more debate in the political world and Obama has campaigned for net neutrality while he was running for presidency, and he also still promotes and fights for net neutrality.
