Question.1695 - DQ1 A+ NOTE: I've included a KPFT Interview Idid back in 2015, when Net Neutrality was about to be the law of the land,over on the Micro Lectures page. You •might'wa nt to check that out before you answer here, but you don't haveto. But be sure to do the readings on the syllabus.Net Neutrality was officially abandored by the FCC in December,2016, but the battle rages on at the state level and in the courts. Based on this,provide a brief reflection on net neutrality. What is your (now informed) opinion of the concept? Of the legislation? Why do you find it important or unimportant? Useful or destructive? Are you concerned or relieved about its demise?
