This is Why Network Neutrality is a Big Deal

I don’t know how I missed this during the week, or who created the original image but this goes a very long way to graphically illustrate one of the possible scenarios in a world without network neutrality.

Imagine an internet that worked like a cable TV subscription, with different bundles and packages. Where most of the content is locked off unless you pay your ISP to allow you get to it regardless of whether or not the site you want to access is itself free.

Imagine having to choose between one telco and another because one gives you access to Google but the other doesn’t.

Net Neutrality

I don’t know who created the orginal image, but hat-tip to Gizmodo and Packet Life.
