The impact on digital marketing from the elimination of net neutrality will be “profound.”
That’s according to Ryan Singel, a fellow at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society and an expert on net neutrality.
If the proposal from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Ajit Pai is approved at the agency’s December 14 meeting, the way the internet has operated since it began as a public communications service in the mid-90s will fundamentally change.
Since that beginning, analyst David Raab pointed out, “it’s been a very level playing field in terms of access.” Your blog and CBS’s have the same ability to reach users, without giant organizations receiving preference or pricing advantages as they do in TV or print distribution.
The basic principle, Stanford law professor Barbara van Schewick wrote recently on Medium, is that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) “don’t get to pick winners and losers on the Internet.”
This, she noted, has been “a well-oiled free market at work.”
