You are herePaid Prioritization: The Demonization of Market Economics
Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2010-12-13 12:11
Now we know what "real net neutrality" and "openness" are, and that they are the antithesis of free market economics or competition. As the FreePress-led letter to the FCC made clear on Friday: "Paid prioritization is the antithesis of openness. Any framework that does not prohibit such economic discrimination arrangements is not real net neutrality." What is "paid prioritization?"
Remember FreePress' last Uneconomics 101 lesson was that "above-cost pricing" was an "unfair business practice."
If the FCC gives this notion -- that "paid prioritization" should be prohibited and basically found illegal by the FCC -- any serious attention or support, the FCC can be expected to get laughed out of court and Congress.
