Comcast's Zero-Rating Industry: A Case Study

163 Words1 Page

On hurts the integrity of competition and innovation. Binge On also technically violates the Title II general conduct rule. T-Mobile isn’t the only ISP guilty of creating zero-rating programs. Comcast created their own Internet TV service called Stream TV. Stream TV is zero-rated for Comcast customers. This should be a violation of network neutrality, because Comcast’s own Internet TV is zero-rated, but similar services like Netflix, are not. AT&T has a similar program, and Verizon is planning on releasing their own. AT&T and Verizon’s zero-rated programs allow companies to pay for their websites or software to not count against the customer’s data cap. These zero-rated programs are clearly threatening to the main principles of net

  • The Pros And Cons Of Net Neutrality

    961 Words  | 4 Pages

    Net-neutrality is the principle that providers of Internet services enable access to all contents with no prejudice or discrimination against sites or products regardless of the source. In December, the U.S. government repealed the national regulations that prevented “Internet Service Providers from blocking legal content, throttling traffic or prioritizing content on their broadband networks” in favor of a “looser set of requirements that ISPs disclose any blocking or prioritization of their own content.” In summary, the government has decided to change net-neutrality and make it easier to profit from. The government’s want, and subsequent success, to change the strict guidelines by which net-neutrality operated with is supported by the Chairman

    For example, let's say that a large search engine corporation had a lot of spare money in the bank from advertising, and it decided to pay ISP's to give their traffic preferential treatment over a different website, such as a non profit like Wikipedia. That situation would not be fair in my mind, because a corporation uses its power to disproportionately gain an advantage in performance that is not justifiable. A core principle of the internet is being allowed to exercise one's freedom of speech. There should be no reason that someone who is acting within their constitutional right should be denied the opportunity to share their viewpoint in any way that they choose (2).

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of Neil Postman's A Brave New World

    1429 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Overuse of Television Kameron G Loyd BYU-Idaho  During an average week, how much television does the average child watch? Parents, educators, and concerned citizens alike would be appalled at the answer of 1,480 minutes (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). They would also be revolted by the statistic that 54% of four to six year olds would rather spend time watching television instead of spending time with their fathers (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). In 1984, Neil Postman saw how devastating television watching was becoming to the culture of America, and gave a speech to the literary community at the 1984 Frankfort Germany Book Fair entitled “Amusing Ourselves to Death” which deals directly with this monolithic issue. Although the speech and subsequent article, published in Et Cetra, were directed at the publishers, writers, illustrators, etc., all those who read this article can also benefit from Postman’s overarching desire to decrease the hours of mind-numbing television watching.

    On December 14th, the future of the internet will be determined. The Federal Communications Commission will vote to repeal the Open Internet Act, which allows for net neutrality. Net neutrality forces internet service providers, such as Verizon or SELCO, to provide access equal access to all websites. Proponents of net neutrality believe that it allows for smaller companies to complete, while opponents believe that it makes it harder for larger companies to further expand their networks, which would in turn improve the internet. A repeal of the act would theoretically allow internet service providers to limit or remove your access to certain websites—unless you paid extra.
