In these last days, the FCC began to discuss about a new regulation for the Net Neutrality. Finally, they approved a proposal that lets service providers such as Verizon to charge more to the companies which want their contents were delivered faster.

At the same time, they also can charge more to the users who want download more faster or have a privilege access to certain services.

This is not a final regulation. It’s necessary few months of discuss, corrections, comments and finally the voting process.

The problem is that it’s only a question of time. When politicians want to change any law, they only need perseverance to get it. You present the same proposal with minimum changes and different names again and again until it is approved. It’s a common tactic.

Many people think that it only affect to people who want to see a lot of videos in youtube, listen music in streaming and so on but it’s not so simple. This is the thought the politicians want to keep in our minds.

With the same regulations, it should be possible, for example, favor the contents of certain news channel while others are penalized, avoid awkward info that can cause problems to certain governors or companies and much, much more.

It also would be possible avoid the competence in the industry due to large companies can pay more to deliver their contents faster while beginners have not funds to provide a good service. One more time, the business and communication will be in the hands of the money. One of the few places people have real freedom will disappear. From here, I expect a dark future with lack of freedom of expression.

However, I’m not a pessimistic and I also think that it will serve to people look for new ways of communications and preserve their freedom, maybe will appear new advances and a new concept of internet.

The end of internet could be mean the beginning of something bigger.
