Resumen
There is one constant about the Internet: it has continued to evolve and change. The ability of the US Congress to pass effective legislation in the telecommunications area is open to question. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was an attempt to provide unbundled access to the last-mile wire loop in order to allow and encourage the rise of alternative data carriers. One of the major dangers that face the future of Internet business is whether those who control access to the Net will implement procedures under the guise of managing the Net that will discourage competition to those services they offer -- such as video over the Internet competing with the cable delivery of the cable operator. Today, innovation and enhancements can occur at all levels of the Internet. Network providers, applications providers, portals, search engines, and content providers can all innovate in various ways and make needed improvements that can benefit the Internet's evolution.
