I'm not super tech savvy but I think I have the basics down.
Net nutrality ends-ISPs can charge users such as Netflix, Hulu, or anyone else they decide to a higher fee for bandwidth. Or they could charge lower fees as they see fit.
Currently with Net Nutrality- all are charged the same regardless of high usage/demand.
I've seen arguments for both sides, and from both political sides. Mostly conservative views as that's what I lean towards but even then there are mixed opinions.
Some see Net Nutrality as big government and on principle believe it should not be law. Instead the market should be allowed to work on its own.
I've seen others who believe ISPs fall in to the same category as other utilities or broadcasters, and that ending Net Nutrality would open the door for ISPs to use pricing to silence "wrong thinkers", a weapon against the growing number of web based conservative outlets.
This seems to be a pretty simplified description but it's about as much as I understand on the subject. I'm curious to know if any of our more knowledgeable members could give insight in to other implications for either side, good and bad.
