Molto generico, ma un'altra voce da considerare quando si valuta la recente decisione FCC sulla neutralità della rete. Comunque, come abbiamo detto spesso in questi ultimi anni, una cosa è certa: alla neutralità della rete vanno affiancate misure efficaci per mantenere il campo da gioco orizzontale anche nell'ambito dei "content & service providers" (come cerca di fare anche la Dichiarazione di diritti in Internet). juan carlos *This ISN'T Net Neutrality. This is Net Google. This is Net Netflix – the FCC's new masters* In our must-read analysis, how power shifted 13 Mar 2015 at 02:32, Kieren McCarthy Part two What is striking about the FCC's rules on net neutrality, released today and likely determining how the United States does internet access for the next decade, is how radical they are. Radical is something that federal agencies rarely achieve because radical in the context of the large machinery of government is often a sign that a particular group has been given too much unchecked power. Critics of the new net neutrality rules will certainly be making that argument: that the rules represent unchecked government power grabbing; bureaucrats imposing themselves on the free market. Meanwhile, on the other side are those who can't quite believe that their petitions and the four million public comments have turned the course of a government regulator, especially when set against the might of Washington DC's big beasts: the cable companies.

What the net neutrality rules really demonstrate – and a little sooner that we are all comfortable with – is that a new status quo is emerging. And that status quo is Google, Netflix, Facebook et al. There's been no Damascene conversion; the FCC hasn't suddenly discovered it must fight for the people's rights: it's simply realized that it's time to serve new masters. And as excited as some of us all are that Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner have been given a bloody nose after years of price gouging and focusing on profits over customer service, the fact is that the new rules are simply paving the way for the next generation of companies who will bend the market and government to their profit-making will – and be given the freedom to do so in the policies of today.
