The Termination of Net Neutrality

     F.C.C. has come to a conclusion on allowing fast lanes to the companies willing to pay more money to the internet service providers. Net neutrality allows for any company providing legal content on the internet to allow consumers to have equal access to the content. I believe this action by the F.C.C. will be a disaster for all consumers on the internet. Small businesses will stand no chance in an environment consisting on humongous companies like Google who can easily afford the extra price tag. The way the internet would be set up would allow the big companies to continue to be in charge with the start up companies being left in the dust. Where would company's like Facebook when they were starting up be if they were not able to afford the fast lane? Internet speed discrimination discourages innovation of new companies and business models. People in today's society lack the patience of waiting for the content they request to arrive on their screens. Once they get tired of waiting, they might choose to go to a different website to get their content.
