    Internet Dilemma - Draft Sheet

    Uploaded by

    Reya
    Internet service providers should be allowed to prioritize some internet traffic over others to benefit their businesses, but regulations are needed to prevent harm to consumers and smaller internet companies. While repealing net neutrality rules allows ISPs to generate more revenue through deals with major tech companies, everyday internet users and smaller internet content providers could face higher costs or have their access blocked without proper oversight. A balanced policy is needed to consider the interests of all impacted groups.
