As a small business owner you are now free to set up an outrageously successful website without having to cough up
extra money to your Internet Service Provider that would add no additional value to your service.
Net Neutrality is the concept of keeping the Internet a level playing field
with no "fast lane" or "slow lane" treatment to some kinds of traffic. Large Internet Service Providers (ISPs) wanted to insert a "Middle-Man" service, that would stand in between the consumer and a Cloud provider such as NetFlix. Currently, a user visits a website of their choice with no such Middle-Man obstruction. Large ISPs wanted to implement another means to make money by charging a toll charge for website access. There was no functional reason for this toll charge. The Internet is working just fine. Stopping short of censorship, the ISP could make access to a website so slow the result would be in users going elsewhere. Eventually, the website host would have to pony up the extra money.
It was no surprise there was widespread support for Net Neutrality as demonstrated by 99 percent of the 1.1
million comments on "Net Neutrality" submitted to the Federal
Communications Commission were in favor of it, according to analysis by
the Sunlight Foundation.
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., explains why he favored Net Neutrality and why he thinks it is a victory for consumers.
