Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of traveling to Texas A & M University in College Station, Texas for a discussion of FCC group and open forum. He was welcomed by Commissioner Ajit Pai FCC, and featured Edward Henigin, CTO of our sister company Data Foundry, on the panel. Read the story of Edward Henigin on regulation of the Internet and to maintain an open Internet, or watch the live recording of the round table and forum.
commissioners rarely leave Washington to meet the public, and now, this event was the only one of its kind on the calendar. It was supplemented by a rally organized by our friends of the free press which attracted media attention and many people in favor of an open Internet.
During the discussion, Ed strongly argued that in the context of promoting an open Internet, the Commission should promote open access by reclassifying the transmission component of broadband "networks last thousand "as a Title II telecommunications service.
Although some on the panel joined with major telecommunications and cable companies to resist the push for Title II reclassification, nearly everyone in the audience accepted!
Finally, the discussion goes beyond the need for Title II reclassification. Unfortunately, the proposed open Internet rules currently under consideration by the FCC will allow service providers such as AT & T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner to manage their networks at a "commercially reasonable". This would include allowing them to charge content providers for "fast lane" access. While this might make Netflix flow a little faster, it ends effectively any hope of a truly open Internet. For example, the proposals would not prevent ISPs to block encryption or other technologies to improve confidentiality. This will allow ISPs to Snoop and follow their habits of Internet users to provide "relevant contextual" ads and help government oversight. The proposed rules will leave us with the same broken Internet where users do not need to have options, and where ISPs will not compete on price, quality of service and the overall service and customer satisfaction.
Golden Frog opposes the telecommunications and cable because the simple fact is that high-speed Internet access in the US is currently subject to any real competitive forces and the abuse actually occurred. Golden Frog does not support Internet / proposed rules open "net neutrality" because they eviscerate the rights of privacy of Internet users. The rule "non-discrimination" presented by some advocates would actually need of discrimination, and they are definitely not "neutral."
We believe means an open and free Internet traffic should be transmitted without special treatment, unless the user has specifically requested a priority review for a application or a service. We strongly disagree that telecommunications and cable companies should be able to charge special fees for delivery "priority." We certainly do not agree that they should be allowed to make you give up all privacy and effective encryption ban so they can inspect your traffic. - Who is the only way they can implement their plan
