Who controls the Internet?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP): Who controls the Internet? That’s the heated debate that has Internet service providers like Comcast, Verizon and Time Warner Cable facing off against the U.S. government, content providers like Netflix and consumer groups.


To ensure that all websites and content creators are treated equally and there’s no “pay-for-faster-play,” the head of the Federal Communications Commission is proposing that Internet access now be overseen like a public utility, such as landline phones. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, once a lobbyist for the very companies he now is going head-to-head with, says the U.S. must regulate Internet service providers more closely to ensure that they don’t play favorites when delivering legal content such as streaming video, online games, retail shopping and anything else.


As you might imagine, Internet service providers are fiercely opposed.


This principle of fairness, known as “net neutrality,” will go up for a vote on Feb. 26 among the FCC’s five commissioners. But what does “net neutrality” really mean to you?
