Net neutrality warning

Google, Facebook, Amazon and other online giants warn that the Internet faces a “grave threat” if service providers are able to prioritize or restrict usage based on negotiated payments.

Man, government contacts are a handy thing...

All this is going to do is force collaboration between the tech companies who actually CREATE something, and they will develop their own data distribution mechanism. The dinosaurs will throw a hissy fit and things will get intrestinger

It's simple really...

If Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Microsoft and Yahoo all stick together and inform Service Providers they will block access to their services, should the SP wish to preform prioritization of services.

I mean, who would want Internet if you could not access Google Services?
