Internet Neutrality

Julius Genachowski the FCC chairman plans to propose new rules that would prohibit Internet service providers from interfering with the free flow of information and certain applications over their networks. This is in direct effect to one of Barack Obamas proposals, Internet Neutrality- The equal treatment of internet traffic. While this might make information more accesible Internet Providers should be able to and need to have some control over their networks to make sure applications that take up a lot of space don't slow down the internet access to its users. But that is just my opinion apparantly Obama and the FCC don't feel the same.
