Are you in favor of a system that creates different rates for the amount of data one individual consumes on the internet, or are you in favor of the concept of "Net Neutrality?" I take the latter approach. I personally believe the internet is sort of an "open-market" that shouldn't be controlled regardless of how much is being used. ISP's would like to charge more if we use "a lot" of data, but how much is too much? Does the typical computer user realize the amount of data they use daily? I highly doubt it. One day a person might choose to download 100 songs, and the next 3 months they may not even send an e-mail. People like that shouldn't have to get stuck paying astronomical fees every month. Usage may vary, so we should all be charged a flat fee.
However, cases of Business data usage should vary. For companies like Google, Yahoo, or Amazon, they should have to pay more than a household pays. The amount they are charged shouldn't be outrageous, though. Companies should all be charged on the same scale.
(Video case number 1 was attempting to show the concept of Net Neutrality, and the potential profits for ISP's.)
