A primer ahead of the FCC vote on net neutrality

You may have heard there’s a big vote today regarding the future regulation of the Internet, commonly referred to as net neutrality. This explainer will help you understand what the vote is about.

From USAToday:

Q: What is net neutrality?

A: Net neutrality, or open Internet, is the principle that Internet service providers should give consumers access to all legal content and applications on an equal basis, without favoring or blocking some sources. It also prohibits Internet service providers (ISPs) from charging content providers for speedier delivery of their content on “fast lanes” or deliberately slowing the content from content providers that may compete with ISPs.

Q: So what’s going to happen when I’m streaming House of Cards in the future?

A: In theory, the only thing that should change is that there are actual regulations on the books — or potentially laws, should Congress pass new ones — that prohibit ISPs’ discrimination of content and content providers. An ISP would be prohibited from slowing the delivery of a TV show simply because it’s streamed by a video company that competes with a subsidiary of the ISP.

That doesn’t mean everyone gets the same level of Internet service — remember, customers already pay for different speeds. And the price of broadband could rise over the years as speeds increase and technology advances. What the FCC’s rules would do is prevent an ISP from favoring content, blocking content, or other conduct that would harm consumers.

Q: Why is FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler pitching his open Internet proposal now?

A: The FCC has been recasting net neutrality rules because the previous set was tossed out by a federal court in January 2014. Since then, the agency has had no official authority to protect an open Internet.

Q: So the FCC essentially wants to treat the Internet like a public utility. Why?

A: To give it the authority to regulate it. To do so, the FCC must reclassify Internet providers as “common carriers,” private companies that sell their services to all consumers without discrimination, similar to how consumers got landline telephone service.

Q: Who supports net neutrality?

A: Content providers, Apple and Google included, support net neutrality. They say consumers are already paying for connectivity and they deserve to get a quality experience. Many consumers like the idea of net neutrality — that there are some regulations that protect the data on the Internet. More than 4 million people filed public comments to the FCC about net neutrality, more than any other issue they’ve handled. Some of those were trade associations and companies, but the majority of them were average people, supporting net neutrality.

Q: Who is not supporting net neutrality?

A: More than two-dozen broadband companies, including AT&T, Comcast, Cox and Verizon, voiced concerns that the FCC might be too heavy-handed with increased regulatory power under these proposed rules. “As it begins its rule-making process, the Commission should reaffirm its commitment to the light-touch approach that has ensured America’s leadership throughout the Internet ecosystem, from networks to services, from applications to devices,” reads a letter signed by the companies.

Separately, some members of Congress — mostly Republicans — are working on a bill to protect open Internet, but prohibit the FCC from going overboard with certain regulatory powers.

Q: How will the vote go down?

A: The FCC commissioners will vote on Wheeler’s proposal at their regular meeting on Thursday. Most observers expect the rules to be approved along party lines with two Democratic commissioners, Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel, joining Wheeler in voting for approval, while Republicans Ajit Pai and Michael O’Rielly vote against it. On Monday, Pai and O’Rielly joined Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, in calling for Wheeler to make the proposal public and to postpone the vote. As is its procedure, the commission reviews draft proposals in private before voting on them — public comments are accepted and hearings are held before final rules are drafted. Once passed, the regulations are published in the Federal Register. They become effective 30 days after publication.

New 2015 Marketing Budget Benchmarks

Is understanding how to target your customer effectively keeping you awake at night?

The Econsultancy Marketing Budgets Report 2015, created in association with Oracle Marketing Cloud, delves into marketers’ expected spend for the coming year.

Because a customer’s decision to buy now involves many interactions with a brand, delivering an orchestrated approach is essential for any brand to attract and retain customers. It’s clear that our industry is aware of this; this year’s report indicates that nearly three quarters (74%) of the companies surveyed believe they are working towards delivering unified customer experiences, rather than standalone campaigns or interactions.

In addition, 71% of the companies surveyed say that they are focusing on ‘breaking down internal silos to better co-ordinate and integrate [their] marketing efforts’. Marketers are unifying marketing strategy, as well as unifying the marketing teams delivering those campaigns.

The findings also indicate that marketers are more likely to be increasing overall budgets for the year ahead than at any time since the launch of our first Marketing Budgets Report in 2010, during the height of the economic crisis. Winning areas include marketing technologies and digital marketing, as a result of stronger boardroom support.

Bigger budgets are well deserved as marketers step up to some tough challenges this year. It spells an exciting 12 months, as marketers seek to take coherent cross-channel customer experiences to the next level.

Benchmark your budget priorities: Check out the full report, and this research snapshot infographic. We hope it provides useful insight into the health of your marketing business.
