Case Study: The Battle Over Net Neutrality

 What kind of Internet user are you? Do you primarily use the Net to do little e-mail and look up phone numbers? Or are you online all day, watching YouTube videos, downloading music files, or playing online games? If you have a smartphones, do you use it to make calls and check the Web every so often, or do you stream TV shows and movies on a regular basis? If you're a power Internet or smartphones user, you are consuming a great deal of bandwidth and hundreds of millions of people like you might start to slow the Internet down. YouTube consumed as much bandwidth in 2007 as the entire Internet did in 2000 and AT&T's mobile network will carry more data in the first two months of 2015 than in all of 2010.
