Net Neutrality Not Good for Real-Time Services?


One of the unknowns at the moment is how any proposed Federal Communications Commission network neutrality rules might affect a service provider's ability to offer quality-assured services.

That's possibly important for any users or providers of real-time services (voice and video), since bandwidth alone is not a guarantee of quality experience.

Real-time services are highly sensitive to latency and delay. The issue then is whether consumers will have the option of buying services optimized for real-time services.

Think of this as an end-user opportunity to buy bandwidth services that are akin to the Akamai content delivery service currently available to businesses.
