Net Neutrality has become an issue in todays time and many companys wonder if it could effect them in the long run. There is concern that the internet service providers want to block certain things on the internet and charge uses to view this content. We should be worried about this situation because who knows how much information could be blocked and what would we do? Do you think people will actually pay money to view certain material or information? This questions remained unanswered because this issue hasnt really happened yet. What is happening right now with this situation is that we wonder if someone is going to actually enforce this law. If it is infored it could effect us in todays life because people who use common websites like facebook and google could eventually have to pay money to use the sites. Some organization are fighting this like AT&T and Verizon because there making money of these idea right now by charging people to use the internet on their phones and also so companys now only allow people to use a certain amont of data on the internet and if they want more they need to pay more money. This is a problem because they are enforcing neutrality and trying not to get people to notice. Its common in the application we buy for or IPhones or Blackberry they want to charge us money to use the facebook apps or the youtube apps. This goes to show that the ideas of net neutrailty are already being inforced in a way and we dont know about it. But if it actually becomes an enforced law it could affect these companys because their making money off this idea already and maybe the internet provides wouldnt allow them to do these this anymore because the could say they want certain material free and some to be bought.
This image shows that people will have to pay every month to see the rest of the material on the poster and could this effect us? Its a situation some people wanna support and some are concerned about but who knows what will happen we just gotta wait and see.
