Taking Sides on Neutrality

"Net Neutrality" has been an ongoing issue for a few years. The issue boils down to this: Should some websites (YouTube, for example) be able to pay internet service providers (Time Warner Cable, for example) to have their videos load faster than other their competitors videos. The cable companies and other internet service providers are against net neutrality while many consumer advocates are for it. The latest news is that President Obama has come out strongly in favor of internet neutrality. NPR reports.

Questions...

•Are you for or against net neutrality? Why?

•Can government be trusted to run the Internet for the public good?

•Can corporations be trusted to run the Internet for the public good?
