Synopsis

The Internet has thrived because of its freedom and openness, the absence of any gatekeeper blocking lawful uses of the network or picking winners and losers online. Consumers and innovators do not have to seek permission before they use the Internet to launch new technologies, start businesses, connect with friends or share their views. Consumers can make their own choices about what applications and services to use and are free to decide what content they want to access, create, or share with others. This openness promotes competition. This book examines the open Internet, and the role of the FCC and their authority to regulate net neutrality.
