Trump gives to the telcos and breaks the principle of network neutralityAjit Pai, presidente de la Comisi n Federal de Comunicaciones de los Estados Unidos, publica un v deo en en el que se burla de la neutralidad de la red y disfrazado de Papa Noel bromea sobre las siete cosas que podr s seguir haciendo en Internet .
La Administraci n de Donald Trump ha cedido ante la presi n de las grandes telcos estadounidenses y ha auspiciado que la Comisi n Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) haya aprobado este jueves levantar las protecciones de neutralidad de la Red impulsadas por Barack Obama y vigentes desde 2015. Con tres votos a favor y dos en contra, en correspondencia con las l neas partidistas, el organismo de mayor a republicana dio luz verde a la pol mica decisi n que cuenta con numerosos detractores. Tras la luz verde de la FCC, esta medida deber sortear el visto bueno de la Oficina de Administraci n y Presupuesto, un proceso que puede llevar varios meses, durante los cuales seguir n vigentes las regulaciones de 2015.
La decisi n permitir eliminar regulaciones aprobadas durante la administraci n de Barack Obama (2009-2017) para evitar que los proveedores de banda ancha como Comcast, AT&T o Verizon bloqueen sitios, ralenticen las velocidades de conexi n o cobren por una entrega m s r pida de ciertos contenidos seg n sus acuerdos comerciales.
Durante los ltimos meses dem cratas, grupos de consumidores y compa as tecnol gicas se han movilizado para tratar de detener este plan de derogaci n, al considerar que las reglas son esenciales para evitar que los proveedores de banda ancha logren un poder extraordinario sobre lo que circula por sus redes.
La neutralidad de red es el principio por el cual los proveedores de servicios de Internet y los gobiernos que regulan Internet deber an tratar a todo tr fico de datos que transita por la red por igual, sin discriminarlo o cobrar al usuario de manera diferente seg n el contenido, p gina web, plataforma, aplicaci n, tipo de equipamiento utilizado para el acceso o modo de comunicaci n.
El t rmino fue acu ado en la Universidad de Columbia por el profesor Tim Wu en 2003 y se basa en que los proveedores ISP proporcionen el mismo servicio a todos los usuarios y servicios con total transparencia. Con la medida adoptada ahora por la Administraci n Trump ser a posible que un proveedor de banda ancha primara, por ejemplo, la calidad del servicio o la velocidad de transferencia de su plataforma de OTT frente a otras alternativas como Netflix o que no cobrara a los usuarios los datos derivados de determinados servicios con los que cuenta con acuerdos comerciales, algo que ya comienza a ocurrir en Europa ya que la normativa europea deja la puerta abierta a que cada pa s pueda decidir por la pol tica de zero-rating. Eso ha provocado que algunas operadoras cuenten con tarifas en las que el tr fico de determinadas aplicaciones tengan m s privilegios que el de otras como no que el tr fico generado no compute en el paquete de datos contratado por el usuario.
De nuevo, un circo
La transcendente medida adoptada por la FCC parece que tampoco se libra del habitual circo que suele rodear a la Administraci n Trump. Ajit Pai, presidente de la Comisi n Federal de Comunicaciones de los Estados Unidos, ha publicado un v deo en Daily Caller en el que se burla de la neutralidad de la red y disfrazado de Papa Noel bromea sobre las siete cosas que podr s seguir haciendo en Internet una vez se levanten las restricciones.
Gracioso si no fuera porque aborda un asunto de lo m s serio lo que convierte este tipo de actuaciones circenses en algo pat tico.
