requires the FCC to use whatever authority it sees fit to make sure that Internet providers don't speed up certain types of content (like Netflix videos) at the expense of others (like e-mail).




Why does this sound like it's still okay to have "slow" lanes?

The belief among the IT industry is that what would happen is the ISP's would just slow everyone down except for these "premium" sites. Thus they wouldn't be "fast lanes" so much as they would be "what used to be normal for everyone".

The other big worry about Net Neutrality is that it removes what is an inherently level playing field for smaller businesses by, in essence, penalizing them for not paying for priority access.
