On June 8 the House of Representatives squashed an amendment that would prevent telecommunications companies from charging Internet content companies more to deliver enhanced services such as high quality audio and video content. The amendment would have required ”network neutrality ” an often-debated term that means different things to different people. To its supporters like Google Yahoo and eBay it means that telecommunications companies should be required to treat all Internet traffic -- whether bandwidth-hogging video or a brief email message -- the same. To companies like Verizon and AT&T imposing network neutrality would mean that they could not charge for enhanced services on networks that cost them billions of dollars to build. Experts from Wharton and elsewhere weigh in on the issue.
