Tiered Service

[edit]

Major players in the Net Neutrality debate have proposed tiered internet so content providers who pay more to service providers get better quality service. [1]

Attempts have been made to put price controls on tiered service. United States Congress put a bill forth to prevent a "two-tiered pricing scheme with priority service." The bill did not pass congress, but allowed the FCC to stop ISPs from blocking websites. [2]
