People need to pay close attention to what is going on in a lawsuit between verizon and the fcc because what is at stake is the future of the internet where customers who pay for internet service while they also pay for access to certain websites could be the ones who end up losing big time based on what that decision is. If the isps win then that means that they can pick and choose which websites they will make it impossible for their customers to have access to simply because they are not getting paid and if the fcc wins they will now have a legal ruling that they can use to go after a isp if their customers complain about being intentionally throttled to favor those own isp's paid services. What is at stake is not only the future of the internet but also what customers use right now. Google, youtube (who is owned by google), hulu, amazon, and netflix are just a few of the websites who online users could be complaining a lot more about not having access to if the decision goes the way the isps want it to go. From that point on it really will be a guessing game as to which isp is feuding with a certain website all because the isp is not getting paid by that webiste because their customers want access to it. Google "verizon fcc" to read more about what is going on. People need to hope that if the isps win the use of the internet will not be made to be so difficult that people will not even want to turn on their computers any more because of the insanity of isps choosing to discriminate against websites to allow their users access to them and if they do that the experience will not be so bad that it will make people want to switch to another provider only to go through that same experience all over again after they have signed a 2 year contract.
