Internet Right or Privilege?

Who uses the Internet? Anybody? Anybody?

The FCC on Tuesday Dec. 21, 2010 approved the so called "net neutrality" designed to ensure that internet providers grant everyone equal access to the Web. The rules are designed to, in effect, keep the companies that own the internet's real-world infrastructure from slowing down some types of websites or apps -- say, those belonging to a competitor -- or speeding up others for high-paying clients. One speed for all.

The concept of “net neutrality’' holds that companies providing Internet service should treat all sources of data equally. Currently, Internet users get access to any Web site on an equal basis.

Sounds good, right. But is it.

The rules does allow Internet providers to engage in "reasonable network management," meaning they can take steps to regulate traffic and congestion over their connections. For example, mobile Internet providers won't be allowed to block access to Skype -- a popular Internet phone service -- from your iPhone, or Blackberry. But they could significantly slow down bandwidth to the program or charge more for people who use it.


Well make no mistake: The free-flowing Internet as we know it could very well become history. Network owners say they want a "tiered" Internet. If you pay to get in the top tier, your site and your service will run fast. If you don't, you'll be in the slow lane.

Also network owners have built a business model by charging consumers for Internet access. Now they want to charge you for access to the network, and then charge you again for the things you do while you're online. Selling bandwidth in capped tiers, with overage charges for users who download too much information, and certain types of data traffic like peer-to-peer file transfers could be banned altogether.

Tiered pricing structures are already in place for many communications providers like AT&T and Cricket, which offer wireless broadband services. Verizon said it would implement similar pricing structures in the coming months..

AT&T also announced in June 2010 that  it will stop it's unlimited plan for iPhones and iPads.This article from the Huffington Post explains it. In essence all NEW subscribers will pay a flat rate for a set amount of gigabytes and an additional amount for overage.

Pandora's box?
I say, as some also do, this will result in a tiered system just like salalite/cable TV. There will be one price say if all you do is surf the web, look at you e-mails etc and another price if you watch videos, movies etc. This to me makes the internet a Privilege depending on how much you are willing to pay.

Which brings me to my original question, Is the Internet a right or privilege?

Michael Vick's Comeback

It was a cold, windy but sunny December day in the New Jersey Meadowlands as the 9-4 Philadelphia Eagles came to face the 9-4 New York Giants. The game in essence to decide the NFC east division and possible #2 seed in the playoffs.

At first it looked like Michael Vick and his Eagles didn't deserve to be on the same field with the Giants, who built up a 24-3 halftime lead. I was shocked at Vick's ineffectiveness, 6-of-10 passes for 33 yards, while Eli Manning was 16-of-25 for three touchdowns and one interception.

But the second half showed that Michael Vick has come all the way back. Back from almost destroying his life with  terrible, horrific acts of cruelty to animals that is appalling to even contemplate one could be involved in such a thing.

Michael Vick signal handily willed his Eagles to a win, rushing for 130 yards 1TD and passing for 242 and 3TD's.

This was capped off by a dramatic 72-yard touchdown punt return by Eagles DeSean Jackson as time ran out, bringing back memories of "The Miracle at the Meadowlands" on November 19, 1978. That day saw Eagles cornerback Herman Edwards recover a fumble and returned it for a game winning touchdown.

This was one game, but for Michael Vick it was another day at redemption.  In August 2007, he pleaded guilty to federal felony charges for an  illegal interstate dog fighting ring that he had operated over five years. He served 21 months in prison, followed by two months in home confinement.With the loss of his NFL salary and product endorsement deals, combined with previous financial mismanagement, Vick filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2008. Falcons owner Arthur Blank did not want Vick on the Falcons, and after attempts to trade him failed, Vick was released. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles and was reinstated in Week 3 of the 2009 season.

But still today critics say he should not be in the NFL. He shouldn't have the privilege to play because of what he did in the past.

But I say he has paid his debt to society. He lost everything he had built up over the years, most importantly his reputation which to me is the most valuable thing a person has. Who are we to decide that a person can NOT make a living in the one thing he does best. Who are we to say he doesn't deserve to display his talents in the NFL and have a chance to rebuild his reputation and status in the national and local community.

In MY opinion he has the right to make a living doing what he does best, playing professional football. Is what he did inexcusable, YES! But should he be band from the NFL over it, NO!

I talked to a former member of PETA who told me while he doesn't root for him, he said he does have the right to play football  in the NFL

He has also said he wants to Get Dog to Help His Rehabilitation→ (story) to this I say you have displayed that in the past you were incapable of handling this important responsibility, therefore you should NEVER be trusted to own one again.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
