I thought in this latest update of my blog I would look how convergent arguments are used in the debate of this issue.
Convergent arguments are when two or more arguments start off at different places, follow different lines of their argument, but come to the same overall conclusion.
Some of the arguments in this debate are: Internet providers and cable companies claim that with Net Neutrality, they will have no incentive to invest in their networks and that it will stifle competition and innovation that the free market provides.
The other side states Net Neutrality is about promoting free speech and keeping the providers from choosing how the Internet is used.
They also feel that technology has enabled the providers to discriminate on how the network will be utilized.
What does this all mean?
The whole debate is centered around how valuable the Internet has become. The importance and value of the Internet has grown as technology has evolved.
