media consumption Site in the

“…ISP’s want to offer Internet
content providers faster, premium
delivery of content and services to
end user customers and to
charge the content providers superior
transmission.”
–Internet Policy and Economics John Stewart
What does the future hold? This is
very similar to what the cable industry said years ago.
“We have said categorically that we do not intend to be enforcement agent or a policeman for content
transported to out network. We… have not said we are going
to filter, and there is no technology solution available at
this time”
-Claudia Jones
• Any source of media ran on cable television is filtered and selected by the companies.
WHO WILL BE AFFECTED?
On the Internet
Small Sites
Non-Mainstream Band
Bloggers
Small Businesses
iTunes
ISP’s will create their own form of
iTunes
iTunes will remain on the slow pipe
Costs for music will go up due to the “gatekeepers”
WHAT TO CONSIDER
What to Consider With the shift of all
media going to the
Internet, Pandora
and HuLu, will a
monopoly form?
Will consumers be
able to choose a
better price for
media?
Prices will surely
rise dramatically
because the internet
is the only source.
Similar to gas prices
in 2006!
Unfortunately, the
government supports
eliminating neutrality.
