Professional Services Automation : Integrated Software Solutions to Optimize Organizational Performance and profitability Across the Service Suppply ChainThe letter of the Google SEO asked the Adsense Publisher to get involve with the internet neutrality problem raised when the US house of representative passed a bill that would give the big phone and cable companies the power to choose what you will be able to see and do on the Internet.

Below is the excerpt from the said letter:

But the phone and cable monopolies, who control almost all broadband Internet access, want the power to choose who gets onto the high-speed lanes and whose content gets seen first and fastest. They want to build tollbooths to block the on-ramps for those whom they don’t want to compete with and who can’t pay this new Internet tax. Money and monopoly, not ideas and independence, will be the currency of their Internet.

Under the proposed “pay-to-play” system, small- and medium-sized businesses will be placed at an automatic disadvantage to their larger competitors. Those who cannot afford the new Internet tax – or who want to compete directly with the phone and cable companies – will be marginalized by slower Internet access that will inevitably make their sites less accessible, and therefore less appealing.
