Neutrality of the Net (Internet)

Network neutrality (or net neutrality, Internet neutrality or NN, in Italian neutrality of the net) are un’ television expression that ago reference to a design principle/use applied to the residential nets to wide band that they supply approached to Internet, services telephones to us and transmissions. The varied exact definition but comes thought ” neutrale” from the majority of the supporters of this principle a net to wide band that is lacking in arbitrary restrictions on the connected devices and on the way in which they operate.

It can be argued that practically no net is completely neutral, for which the neutrality represents an ideal condition towards which operating and the nets can stretch. The term has been coined nell’ within of the European laws on the telecommunicationses more or less in the 2003 and has been then imported in the United States, when the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has begun to consider the informative reclassification of the residential DSL like Information Service, services, thus like era for the logons to Internet based on cable.

The supporters of the net neutrality did not oppose themselves to a homogenous regulation but they thought thus that both these services had to be dealt like Telecommunications Service that is like services of telecommunicationses, as I telephone and the other services typically managed from telephone societies. For being able to compete with the service ” Triple play” (that is Internet, television, I telephone) of the companies that manage the logons via cable, the telecommunication companies have proposed the division of the television and telephone traffic from that Internet.

Since this practical one is common on the nets via cable, the critics us of the net neutrality support that to forbid it on nets DSL it is arbitrary and unjust. Consequently, the ” net neutrality” it has been accused of being ” a solution in tries of a problema” and to eliminate the incentives all’ modernization of the nets and to the launch of Internet services of new generation. Bob Kahn, the inventive head physician of Internet, supports that net neutrality or a slogan dogmatic that the experimentation and the improvements in the heart of Internet bloccherebbe.

The point of view of Kahn is shared from the majority of the net engineers senior, with l’ important of Vint Cerf, currently managing exception of Google. In any case, the activists fear that the telecommunication companies can use this power in order to discriminate between the several types of traffic, being introduced unjust taxes and tolls for the producers of contents, if in particular concurrent. Their worry is that the lacked payment can carry to a poor or completely absent service that renders impossible to approach to some sites web or some services or l’ use of some applications.

At least one of the more important society than American telecommunicationses has supported this idea. Those who proposes the neutrality supports that the telecom they try to impose the service model ” to livelli” more for the purpose than to earn more from their control on the cables that give the contents. Others have expressed their idea that the net neutrality or particularly important like means in order to maintain own freedoms, as a not neutral net could decide to render inaccessible information or judged services inadequate.

Bob Kahn says to fear that Internet can be fragmented and would want to see mechanisms at the level of policy that they prevent the managers of nets dall’ to exclude the customers from sure services. At last a third group finds that the terms of both the parts are susceptible of doubt. If the neutrality of the net comes to lack, it could be found to us to choose provider of access to Internet on the base of the contents (sites web, services VoIP etc) that they can be used with those provider: the provider some contents of the web could supply the service of logon to Internet favoring respect to others.

It would be un’ architecture of net based on the ” favoritismi” , planned so that some services can have advantages respect to others, that it would allow the creation of a new market between contained suppliers of for the web and Internet Service Provider.

The neutrality of the net recently is threatened from the American legislators who, pushes from the demands for large provider, are estimating l’ introduction of that which it comes called Internet to 2 speeds, that is a reform to the legislation on the telecommunicationses; such reform, seppur happened in the USA, would interest all the globe, date the international nature of Internet. Schierati in favor of the reform of discouragement of the neutrality criterion detaches AT& T, world-wide giant of the telecommunicationses, and the party of the ISP formed from Verizon, BellSouth and Comcast.
