Cnet Reports The U.S. House of Representatives definitively rejected the concept of Net neutrality on Thursday, dealing a bitter blow to Internet companies like Amazon.com, eBay and Google that had engaged in a last-minute lobbying campaign to support it.
By a 269-152 vote that fell largely along party lines, the House Republican leadership mustered enough votes to reject a Democrat-backed amendment that would have enshrined stiff Net neutrality regulations into federal law and prevented broadband providers from treating some Internet sites differently from others.
2 solutions
1. If major players like Amazon and Google don’t pay for the extra speed then there’s no incentive for internet providers to divide up bandwidth that way.
2. If my internet provider (Comcast) tries to reduce access to my website unless I pay more, then I will change my digital phone service back over to a regular provider and change my cable over to satellite dish.
