What you describe is the bad outcome of the proposed legislation. The latest net neutrality proposal in Congress boils down to:
- Providers shall not block lawful content, applications, or services, or prohibit the use of non-harmful devices, subject to reasonable network management.
- Providers shall not unjustly or unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful traffic over a consumer’s wireline broadband Internet access service (reasonable network management allowed).
- Providers shall disclose accurate and relevant information in plain language regarding the price, performance, and network management practices (publishing trade secrets or security info not required).
Who here has a problem with that concept?
