Protecting Net Neutrality and the Open Internet
I doubt we'll ever get the net neutrality we want until we swallow the pill of paying for what we use—like we do for other utilities—instead of some imaginary total capacity. How do we make sure transfer amounts are monitored fairly? How do we make sure our software is accessing the network only when we want it to? Those are technical challenges we'll need to solve. But if we want ISPs to play fair, then we must absorb the simple concept: If you stream Netflix all day, you should pay more than the lady next door who checks Facebook a couple times per week, even if the bits are flowing at the same rate.
