net neutrality
The underlining issue with net neutrality is the freedom of consumer access to anywhere on the web without limitations. The Internet is free for people to access what we want, when we want. Many large organizations are pro net neutrality such as google, Microsoft, and Facebook. They are in favor of the fair chance playing field that net neutrality offers. It allows healthy competition and pushes organizations to produce better products for the web. Other organizations like Verizon Wireless and Comcast Cable are not inviting to the ideas that net neutrality offers. They feel that with organizations like there own, they can dominate and control what is rightfully theirs. With individuals striving to achieve the ultimate goal of controlling parts of the web, it will create better competition. Both these sides have arguments for the well-being of customers but provide many different points. If I had to choose which argument I most agree with, I would be pro net neutrality. I think that allowing the customer all access without discrimination is a key to our society today. It has allowed us to grow and continue to compete in a way, which helps our economy function the way it should.
