Another victory for corporate interests while sticking it to the average person or small organization. I understand that bandwidth is not equal to public airwaves, the infrastructure is a corporate investment, but this opens the door to censoring available content. As someone who lives in a major metropolitan area and still has a relatively slow internet connection, the effect that this has on rural areas and access to on-line material is disturbing.
From another perspective, as a community college teacher, this could have an impact on the availability of on-line courses as well as they frequently incorporate video and heavy graphics to try to bring the course to life from a distance. I hope it gets appealed.
