The federal appeals court in D.C. has just ruled in favor of Comcast in their suit against the FCC regarding net neutrality. Before I get into the actual ruling, it’s worth reminding folks what net neutrality is and what current law is.
Net neutrality refers to the practice of treating all Internet traffic equally regardless of type or source. It means whatever telecom company provides you Internet (cable, phone, etc…) can’t serve you the information you request at faster or slower speeds depending on what you request. News articles from the New York Times have to be served to your computer at the same speed as articles on this blog.
