There is a long-stand(0) debate between users of “new media” and Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
about so-called “net neutrality” the idea that no-one should control the Internet). Both sides claim to
uphold what they call "Internet freedom", but it appears they have diverging views of exactly which is
meant by freedom but it appears they have diverging views of exactly which is meant by freedom in this
context.
For supporters of neutral, Internet freedom means equal, affordable access for whatever online applications
and content they choose. In contrast, the ISPs say a free Internet means that the industry should be
unimpeded by government oversight and that high- speed connections should be available for anyone who
can afford it.
The debate is over grown with so many technical jargon that it hasn't attracted
widespreading attention, but what's at stake are nothing less than the future of the Internet. The issue,
essentially, is whether financial corporations become gatekeepers of online content and traffic, or whether
small independent organizations can access the new technological without restrictions. Whichever way it
goes, the outcome is like to change the whole of popular culture.
