Moyers on America: The Net @ Risk

According to Moyers on America’s website, posted in 2006, net neutrality refers to regulating what appears on the internet by increasing the cost of internet sites. The increased revenue would fund a system update in order for websites to download quicker. In particular, companies and websites with heavy broadband content with videos and audio files would pay a higher fee. The video on Moyers on America show two women voicing their opinions about the net neutrality debate. They believed that small businesses, mom and pop sites, and non-profit organizations would not be able to pay the higher cost for a website. This debate continues with what legislation planned voting on a net neutrality bill during 2006.
