Net Neutrality for Business

Theres been a lot of talk, mainly in the USA, about Net Neutrality. For those of you who dont know what I’m on about I will explain.

The big ISP’s which we all use to access the Internet, want to have the right to divert our surfing to sites that they are affiliated with. For business this means that if a widget company affiliates its self with an ISP then all traffic about widgets will be directed to their website to the deficit of all other widget companies.

Needless to say, its a massive issue, one that hasn’t really been raised in the UK. If it becomes a reality in the USA then UK ISP’s, many of which are owned by American Companies, will surely follow suit.

It not only explains more and gives links to other Net Neutrality sites, but also features many of the popular Internet Celebrities… worth a giggle anyhoo!
