Quote:So if I own Eric's Internet Provider and build a network to service the up and coming Palatka area, under the UK's regulation after I built my network I'd have to lease Homies Interent Provider company access at cost?

 

If you own the lines, yes.

So what kind of regulations would "net neutrality" have to change any of that?

</div>
 

All net neutrality does is prevent companies from having tiers of speeds different for different websites.


It provides that companies can't slow traffic down because of the content of the website.

 

Under Net Neutrality loading ilovethegovernment.something would load the same as ihatethegovernment.something

 

Without it, telecomm companies can have ihatethegovernment.something in a slow lane -- or refuse acess to it at all.
