Open Internet - The Argument For Net Neutrality
Oh common, everyone knows that nothing will happen to net neutrality. Why? Ok, let's pretend some companies switch over to "not neutral" internet. Guess what happens? One company remains "neutral" and EVERYONE switches to that company making the other ones go bankrupt. Not exactly rocket science, is it?
This is already happening in Canada. The biggest providers (rogers and bell), have both decided to implement traffic shaping and deep packing scanning in order to stop or severely hinder torrent transfers. They were allowed to do this without even disclosing anything, and in fact, rogers went so far as to not tell anyone they were doing this for years. The government has finally made it a requirement that the major service providers disclose their "traffic management practices" a little more clearly so that more of this stuff doesn't happen. While this doesn't do anything except force ISPs to admit they are doing it, at least it's a start, and these practices are being noticed.
