net neutrality
What is meant by the term ‘net neutrality’?
That anyone carrying network traffic must treat all data the same.
What are the four freedoms?
Freedom to access legal content
Freedom to use applications of the users' choice
Freedom to attach personal devices to connections in users' homes
Freedom to obtain service plan information
What problems could we face if the net was not neutral?
That things will download faster from certain websites.
Why do large telecommunications companies oppose net neutrality?
Big companies are taking over the internet. It is not fair. People are using everything and people download many things.
How does the net neutrality issue affect wireless communications (and your cell phone!)?
Things might become slower and that would affect wireless communications.
What is your opinion? Should the net be neutral? Consider that your internet access may be slower if the net is not restricted. Consider that, if the net is not neutral, broadband providers can block certain peer-to-peer applications and certain online games.
I think they should not change it because then some websites will be slower than the others and some peoples computers will be slower than the others and that is not fair.

It affects people who illegally download music because now they know that they would get in really big trouble for it and they will have to pay a lot of money.

It affects them because people illegally download music instead of buying it off itunes and other legal music downloading sites.
