My understanding is that OPLIN (and SONNET —I dont’ know what they call Ohio’s fiber today— yes, I’m from the 80’s) are network connected without neutrality regulation? Generally private links, not “Last mile ISP” like what patrons (or we) would have at home…
or on our data phones.

<br class="">
On Thursday December 14, the commissioners of the Federal<br class="">
Communications Commission (FCC) voted to end the policy commonly known<br class="">
as Net Neutrality. This is naturally prompting questions from<br class="">
libraries concerning what it means to them. In the immediate future,<br class="">
the answer is probably nothing. Implementation of the decision is<br class="">
likely to be held up by litigation. Once begun, it will take some time<br class="">
for this to get through the courts.<br class="">
<br class="">
For OPLIN's part, the FCC's recent decision is unlikely to change the<br class="">
current state agreements for data transport or Internet service. We<br class="">
have existing contracts for your library's main connection to the<br class="">
OPLIN core, and for public library traffic to the commodity internet.<br class="">
These do not change quickly.<br class="">
<br class="">
This is not to suggest that the end of Net Neutrality is of no<br class="">
concern. Libraries in general have a stake in an open, equal internet<br class="">
as part of our core value of intellectual freedom. I'm happy to have<br class="">
that philosophical debate off-list.<br class="">
<br class="">
Practically speaking, "ensuring equity of access" is spelled out as<br class="">
OPLIN's mission in the Ohio Revised Code. To the best of our ability<br class="">
and wherewithal, we will provide the best service we can to Ohio's<br class="">
public libraries.<br class="">
<br class="">
We know that, on the local level, libraries use a variety of ways to<br class="">
connect your branches, and your options could become even more<br class="">
complicated. Helping you with that is one of the reasons we're here.<br class="">
<br class="">
If you have questions, I'm happy to chat further.<br class="">
<br class="">
Neutrally yours,<br class="">
<br class="">
