A0 Hi all, I'm Tom Ashley, TOSA Tech Coach @PalomaValley in @puhsd. My favorite make-believe Black Friday deal would be if Tesla would hurry up & build my Model 3 & offer it to me for $10K off. Also hoping the Feds maintain it's $7500 tax credit in LOUSY new tax bill. #IEedchat
Welcome to #IEedchat. Tonight we will be discussing Impacts of Net Neutrality on everyone. We will be using the Q1:A1 format.
Here is a preview for some of tonight's questions.
A1: @educationweek’s Market Brief states that “Net neutrality is the principle that all content delivered via the web be treated equally by internet service providers.” https://t.co/AtyAuPTkOA#IEedchat
A1: My elementary understanding of net neutrality is that content on the web should get to users at same speed and quality despite ISP, and without favoritism from ISP pushing some content faster or slower than others #IEedchat
Q2: Agree or Disagree -
GIVEN: internet video including Netflix and YouTube currently make up most of the internet data use, and our overall data use is going to triple by 2021.
THEREFORE the co's w/ the most traffic should pay for costs of growth.
#IEedchat#NetNeutality
A2: TOTALLY DISAGREE. This is a false argument. ISPs serve one purpose and one purpose only… to be a dumbpipe that provides their subscribers with a valid public IP address. This lame argument comes from this Forbes article: https://t.co/byfvQsG7xk. Read the comments. #IEedchat
Some of the comments that stand out to me came from: https://t.co/VOB7yjsGkb
" #NetNeutraility protects us from online censorship"
...More than just fast lanes, it's content moderation. Internet = the ultimate platform for information accessibility. Needs protection.
#IEedchat
A2:
halfway agree
I read somewhere about math models showing that sharing the expense profits for everyone overall. Growth of the system ain't free.
#IEedchat#NetNeutraility
I'll find the reference to the study
"Q3: Zero Rating (aka "free" data).
What may be some cons to getting data from certain media companies cancelled on your bill?
(Netflix, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, etc either free service or data not included in charges on bill.)
#IEedchat"#NetNeutrality
A1: NetNeutrality=the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content & applications regardless of the source, & without favoring or blocking particular products or websites. Fight here: https://t.co/3Tp9ODbTbc#IEedchat
A3: Zero Rating is complicated. Learn more here: https://t.co/shVyLvO2ed It is a back door way for ISP's to monopolize content they have a financial stake in. Sometimes results in lower video quality for binge watching. It is weird and problematic. I'm against it. #IEedchat

#IEedchat#NetNeutality
A3:The way I view this is that the companies see a market to bring in more revenues that they could tap into. TV watching is down and now they want to manipulate a new medium to their advantage. #IEedchat

A3:
I used to not be against Zero Rating (free data)
But podcast @twit made me think about nothing is actually free. So ask yourself /who/ is paying, and what else are they selling you.
#IEedchat#NetNeutrality
A4:#NetNeutrality if not kept the way it is would allow people to pay for access to content and speeds of internet that are superior to those with less financial stability. Creating an uneven access to content that should be available to all at the same rates and speeds #IEedchat
A4:
If someone/something is controlling and censoring the internet for you...then you are getting pre-filtered. You only hear the message deemed appropriate for what you pay.
#SocialJustice has more voices heard from #NetNuetrality. Again needs protection.
#IEedchat
A4: If only larger companies control data flow over the Internet, they could end up charging whatever they want. Some impoverished citizens might not be able to afford even a small data plan. Might be hard to record and post instances of hate crimes and other injustices #IEedchat
I feel this also alluding to only those that pay get the best information, they control the information. This definitely hurts #SocialJustice everywhere.
#IEedchat#NetNuetrality
A5: If it impacts a family, it impacts a student. If the lack of net neutrality would endanger the ease for many families to access the net, students would obviously be affected since they wouldn't be able to access the net for work done at home #IEedchat

A5:#NetNeutrality allows students to have equal access to online content as anyone. If this is taken away or altered we could definately start seeing some disparities among students all across the country #IEedchat
A4: say you get your internet from Spectrum but they don’t agree with the NAACP so they make that site slower or not give you access at all. That’s why this is scary #IEedchat
A6: You have to contact your Representatives in Congress. Fight! It isn't that stressful. Staff for congress are used to these calls/emails and are polite and record/tally your concerns. More: https://t.co/3Tp9ODbTbc#IEedchat
A4: without #NetNeutrality companies will provide people with the information they want to promote rather than allowing people to research and form their own opinion. #IEedchat
A6: I say we need to emphasize that students, teachers, parents, all, need to own their digital experience. Have a critical eye for truth and research.
#IEedchat#NetNuetrality
A6: Im going to use the Beastie Boys on this one and say that you have to fight for your right and in this case to have equal internet access #IEedchat

FT: Let me make this simple. I have a lot of respect of plumbers, but Internet Service Providers are just the plumbers of the internet. THEY DON'T OWN IT. IT IS OURS. They just need to keep the pipes clear and moving and stay out of all else. #IEedchat
A6: Educators and students needs to know that repealing #NetNeutrality is going backwards and will mess up the great work accomplished with eRate.
#IEedchat
A5: getting rid of net neutrality will do only harm for students Some already have a hard time getting any internet at but with what is being proposed they now have to worry if they have internet their provider may not give them fair access to all sites #IEedchat
FT: We need to make sure we have equal access to the internet for all individuals in this country, we don't need to take steps back but forward on equality #IEedchat
