In June of 2015 the EU adopted its first-ever rules to protect net neutrality, so that internet users could access the content of your choice, without which theywere blocked or degraded (for example, slowed down in speed) so unfair.

Additionally, the legislation outlawed to pay for access to such content or services may involve a priority or privilege to get to them.

This rule provided that all traffic on the internet is“treated in the same way”with only a series of “exceptions to strict and clearly identified with the public interest”.

The FCC, with a republican majority, approved this Thursday by three votes in favor and two against —democrats— to end the principle of “network neutrality” standard-bearer in 2014 by the then president of the united States, Barack Obama, and ratified as a standard in 2015.

This up-regulation was prevented by the companies suppliers of the internet could block or slow-down to your whim any portal of the network, regardless of the type of content in question.

In this way, when it becomes effective, the new standard, providers of the service willfreedom to block or reduce the speed of load of the webs, with the only subordination of which to make public as part of the requirement of transparency that it maintains the new rule.
