"Technology" in the News

Collins, Keith. “Why Net Neutrality Was Repealed and How It Affects You.” The New York Times. The New York Times, 14 Dec. 2017. Web. 15 Jan. 2018. www.nytimes.com/2017/12/14/technology/net-neutrality-rules.html.

Keith Collins’, “Why Net Neutrality Was Repealed and How It Affects You” discusses the overreaction to Net Neutrality, and the truth behind it. The repeal of Net Neutrality by The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gives internet services the option to allow paid prioritization and pay-to-pay deals for their customers which will disrupt E-commerce and small online oriented businesses. However, the greater of the population overreacted to this because they are unaware that many internet services pledged not to take advantage of customers because they believe that Title II gives the FCC too much power, and that there are many other countries where this also occurs. Therefore, this article reveals that the repeal of Net Neutrality was misunderstood by the public, and will ultimately have less of an affect on technology than was previously thought.
