Why Cable Should Want Net Neutrality

WHY CABLE SHOULD WANT NET NEUTRALITY
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Art Brodsky, Public Knowledge]
[Commentary] Network Neutrality is not about giving anyone below-cost access to the cable network. It is not about government price controls. It is not about protecting the business plans of Google or Yahoo or any other Internet company. It is about allowing every customer access to content and applications on whatever speed network they pay for. It is about allowing individual consumers or small companies or large companies to reach consumers with whatever resources they have without the network operator influencing the choice. Cable companies should support non-discrimination because they need it too -- when they connect to the telephone company network. Cable operators need fair treatment from the telcos for their interconnection rates. They don't want their traffic sent to the back of the queue. Cable doesn't want to be discriminated against and shouldn't be able to discriminate, either.
