CASE:THE BATTLE OVER NET NEUTRALITY

1.      What is network neutrality? Why has the Internet operated under net neutrality up to this point in time? 

Network neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers must allow customers equal access to content and applications, regardless of the source or nature of the content.  The Internet has operated under net neutrality up to this point because prior to this point there was not as many users and content available on the Internet.  Prior to now there really was not a concern to what was done on the Internet because Internet speed and reliability was not efficient.

2.       Who’s in favor of net neutrality? Who’s opposed? Why?

I believe that there should be net neutrality however to give a competitive edge to specific Internet providers many ISP are opposed to net neutrality.  Net neutrality gives the users a unified experience without having to be concerned with whether or not they are getting the same service and content that someone who uses a different provider gets

3.      What would be the impact on individual users, businesses, and government if Internet providers switched to a tiered service model? 



If Internet providers switched to a tiered service model, the use of the Internet may decrease because of the high cost that would be incurred from a tiered service.  Also businesses would have to find an alternative method for computing considering that a lot of companies have adopted cloud computing as their infrastructure.  The government agencies like the USPS would have a competitive advantage to tiered service.  The Internet would no longer be used for leisure but more for relevant usage

case study : IS SOCIAL BUSINESS WORKING OUT?

IS SOCIAL BUSINESS WORKING OUT? 1. Identify the management, organization, and technology factors responsible for impeding adoption of internal corporate social networks. Management:  Employees that are used to collaborating and doing business in more traditional ways need an incentive to use social software. Most companies are not providing that incentive: Only 22 percent of social software users believe the technology to be necessary to their jobs. Organization:  Companies that have tried to deploy internal social networks have found that employees are used to doing business in a certain way and overcoming the organizational inertia can prove difficult. Enterprise social networking systems were not at the core of how most of the surveyed companies collaborate. About half of the survey respondents said that internal social networks had “very little impact” on employee retention, the speed of decision making, or the reduction of meetings. Technology:  Ease of use and i
