Equal Access for All? How Net Neutrality Could Affect Your Online Communications

Submitted by Holly on Thu, 04/19/2007 - 7:56am.

Net Neutrality may sound like political jargon, but it's actually one of the most important technology policy issues facing the country today. The Internet was founded on the principal that all information would be treated equally; yet in the aftermath of the BrandX Supreme Court case, federal legislation is now required to keep the Internet free from content discrimination. Without legislation, your clients and stakeholders might not always be able to access your website, receive your emails or put their own voices online as easily as before, because of new barriers being put in place by ISPs. This session will outline the net neutrality issue and give you the resources you need to take action.
