Net neutrality: Are all bits created equal?
,----[ Quote ]
| The ability to visit big or small websites
| equally is coming under attack from critics
| of "net neutrality" in America.
|
| This principle means all web traffic is
| treated equally regardless of the type or
| origin.

Google Ultrafast Broadband May Shake Up Fiber Market
,----[ Quote ]
| But while Google may intend for its network
| to serve as a model for other carriers,
| there is no guarantee that it will lead the
| incumbent carriers to follow suit. After
| all, the success of the open source Android
| operating system hasn't made proprietary
| operating systems such as the iPhone OS or
| BlackBerry any less popular or profitable.
| What remains to be seen, then, will be
| whether the Google network will lead to a
| revolution or will remain just a pretty
| model.

Obama Affirms Commitment to Net Neutrality
,----[ Quote ]
| In a followup to his State of the Union
| address, the president said:
|
| Iâm a big believer in net neutrality.
| I campaigned on this. I continue to be
| a strong supporter of it. My FCC
| Chairman Julius Genachowski has
| indicated that he shares the view that
| weâve got to keep the Internet open,
| that we donât want to create a bunch
| of gateways that prevent somebody who
| doesnât have a lot of money but has a
| good idea from being able to start
| their next YouTube or their next
| Google on the Internet.
