Net neutrality is likely going to be repealed by the FCC. Here’s why that could be a big problem for anyone who pays a cable or wireless carrier bill. Following is a transcript of the video.
Steve Kovach: The FCC is getting ready to repeal net neutrality rules that were put in place in 2015. Net neutrality is the concept that all traffic on the internet should be treated the same. That means your internet provider can’t suddenly decide to slow down YouTube or Netflix because they’re not paying enough.
It also means they can’t charge you more to access certain services. Everything has to be a level playing field. It means prices are stable and you get the content you want no matter who your internet provider is.
Without net neutrality rules, internet providers are free to charge you more for services they deliver over their pipes.
