Should carriers have the freedom through contracts and licenses to shape how their networks will be used?
March 11, 2010
Again this is an instance of protecting consumer rights and freedom in utilizing the digital medium. The carriers have a very important role in maintaining a healthy pipe that is effectively utilized. There should be efforts to setup regulation and standards to avoid piracy and unauthorized usage of network traffic.
At the same time the carriers should not be allowed to take control of freedom of network usage for the sake of mere control in the market place. Urge for Control and power has made the situation worse. In my opinion FCC should take an active role in influencing the legislature to pass important rules pertaining to Net Neutrality in the fullest form. All lobbying efforts from the top powers should be discouraged.
