Yup still on the subject of Net Neutrality

Published by jradke138 at 1:42 am under news, politics Edit This

                  Whomever has not read my previous articles really should there obviously almost all about net Net Neutrality.  Although im still working on getting my blog a little bit bigger you know more of a fan base so whomever should check it out cause its atleast an interesting quick read.

And whoever doesnt have a today account just on the left hand side youll see an ad click on it, it is on the right hand side and youll get paid to blog its awesome. Well ill get back on the subject of net neutrality i just had to add that in of course to help toda out so much a website helping me spread the word.

Well back on the subject.  In addition to the millions of Americans who have taken a stand in support of Net Neutrality, we have president who has pledged to “take a back seat to no one” in his commitment to Net Neutrality.  Me being a Republican I was not a big fan of Barack becoming president but the fact is he is working hard to support this cause and I can respect that.  All the things he is doing has kind of made me glad he has become the president.

It’s no surprise then, as we are about to make history, that powerful forces are aligning to stop this fundamental change from happening. The Wall Street Journal story paints support for Net Neutrality as ebbing, confusing a Google plan to utilize “edge caching” technology as a fundamental violation of Net Neutrality by one of its biggest corporate supporters.

According to Google, the “secret” program referred to by the Journal is nothing more a content caching technology that has been going on for years. There is no prioritization, they write, nor is there an ISP choosing fast lanes and slow lanes. Hundreds of companies do this to move content geographically closer to end-users.  Now personally I do not have the proof but other big supporters of this cause do it would take me a million blogs to state all the evidence really.

Google has been a moving target for phone and cable industry lobbyists and their hired shills. “The Wall Street Journal is playing vessel for the latest attack,” writes Karl Bode of Broadband Reports.

“It’s a nice win for whichever cable company leaked the news as it paints Google as a hypocrite ahead of next year’s renewed fight over network neutrality legislation,” Bode continues. “However, the Wall Street Journal is intentionally distorting Google’s proposal for political effect.”  I am not really sure witch cable company leaked this but once I heard this I lost alot of respect for google as they were one of my favorite corporations.

Well that concludes this blog for today and I will be back with more of this information tomorrow so always come back and check out more!!
