FCC plans to formalize Internet rules on net neutrality draw fire
The Internet has long adhered to one basic principle: Nobody’s in charge. That hallmark owes to the Internet’s grand design. It’s basically a global confederation of unrelated computers, making it impervious to hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters. Hackers regularly attack, but can’t shut it down. Governments, try as they might, also can’t control it. That doesn’t mean the Internet is meddle-proof.
