Tech Manufacturers rally against Net Neutrality
On the Net Neutrality issue, I tend to side on the side of the telecommunications providers. My reasoning is that Net Neutrality is a solution looking for a problem. Content providers like Google and eBay are pushing Net Neutrality, but I do not see a dire need for new legislation at this time.
Are people dying? Is not the net not fairly neutral at this time? Are people being discriminated against or being taken advantage of where legislation would make a profound and positive effect? I do not think so. I would rather have less regulation than more. We do not need new laws just because Net Neutrality sounds like a good idea. We need new laws when there is a demonstrated and dire need that will have a positive effect on the public good.
It looks like tech manufactures are siding with the telecommunications providers in coming against Net Neutrality. Less regulation is the answer for now. We can re-visit Net Neutrality when and if it becomes a problem.
