Will recent actions taken by the FCC jeopardize your businesses Internet freedom?
Up until now, the Internet has been free commerce in its purest form. However, On December 21, 2010, the Federal Communications Commission officially adopted controversial new Net neutrality rules, "fixing" a problem that was not there. The battle is far from over, as the FCC's authority to create and enforce these regulations may still be in question. With this uncertainty looming, infrastructure providers may be less likely to invest in innovation, due to not knowing what regulatory impact these rules could impose. If the FCC’s actions are successful, this will impact businesses and infrastructure providers, whereas they will not be allowed to freely innovate (and letting the free market decide on the winners and losers) as they see fit, thus stopping innovation.
