ECA's 'Gamers For Net Neutrality' Initiative
How much does it cost to run a service like Xbox Live or PSN? How about World of Warcraft? Lots. Trouble is, it could be much worse. And it could be charged to you.
The Entertainment Consumers Association has joined the "net neutrality" cause, coming together with Save The Internet and Games For Change to create Gamers for Net Neutrality, which aims to keep ISPs honest when it comes to preferential traffic and accounting practices:
Stand up for your gaming rights and join more than 1.5 million Americans of every political persuasion in the fight for Net Neutrality -- the principle that ensures that gamers are free to go where they want, do what they like, and connect with whom they choose online.
Without Net Neutrality, your Internet Service Provider is free to charge you extra for playing World of Warcraft®, to interfere with Xbox Live®, or to completely shut off your ability to access your favorite Web sites. Net Neutrality affects your entire online experience!
The ECA's site offers ways for Joe Gaymer to help keep affordable and stable online gaming services both affordable and stable. Check it out.
