Companies like facebook, netflix and amazon are taking part in a protest against changes being made to us rules which govern Net Neutrality.

Right now, all Internet Traffic is treated the same, no matter where it has come from, where it is going, or what it is doing. That is something we call Net Neutrality. Without it, campaigners worry that Internet Service providers might be able to intentionally slow down your Internet Connection unless you pay more for things like video streaming, or they warned that could be some kind of internet fast lane, where big, Rich Companies could pay to make sure their sites loaded quickly, but other, smaller sites would be stuck in a slow lane instead. Throughout wednesday, Major Internet Companies will be simulating what it would be like to slow down their websites, in the hope that americans will get in touch with their politicians to pressure them into supporting Net Neutrality. Over 70,000 websites will be pushing people towards the fcc to make their voices heard. It will also be pushing people towards numbers of congress, and what we wa nt numbers of congress, and what we want the fcc to hear, what we want members of congress to hear, is that Net Neutrality is wildly popular, which it is, and we want them to stop trying to murder it. But Net Neutrality does have some very powerful opponents. It includes Companies Like verizon, ibm, cisco, nokia, and crucially the head of the fcc has also spoken out against Net Neutrality. Those who are against it say it adds unnecessary new regulation to the internet. They say Net Neutrality makes it harder for Internet Service providers to make back the money they invested in building the infrastructure that gives people a high speed internet. Politicians, companies and the us public have up until august 16 to make their views on the issue is clear. Then, the federal Communications Commission will make its final decision before the end of this year.

China is set to become the worlds biggest Aviation Market over the next few decades, and it is already ona next few decades, and it is already on a buying spree. Boeing China Airlines will spend 1 trillion buying airlines, notjust blowing ones, over the next 20 years, but will chinas infrastructure be able to keep up boeing ones. There will be some struggles. That is the huge issue. One of the other things boeing puts out as well as a survey of pilots, boeing estimates that china will need well over 100,000 pilots. Notjust pilots. Pilots are the cool job pilots. Notjust pilots. Pilots are the cooljob in the industry. You also need people to maintain the aircraft, so there is a lot of opportunity to employ people in the industry. There may not be enough supply of pilots and maintenance people in china itself, especially good talent. They have to look outside of the mainland. They are indeed. There was an ad recently 4737 captains in an outlying province in china for 737 captains. It is a very good pay package for that kind of aircraft. You would be living in the hinterlands of china, you might be away from your family, if you are a foreign pilot. So there would be some sacrifices, but there are a lot of foreign pilots in china and emerging markets around the region. Are the big question is now, of course, with all of these new aircraft coming onstream in china, what about the Safety Record . China is quite aggressive about its Safety Record. They have a lot of rules and restrictions. They govern the airspace very tightly but there are concerns that pilots might be a bit overworked in china. There are some concerns that pilots might be over penalise if they have a hard landing 01 penalise if they have a hard landing or Something Like that. So there are some cultural issues around pilots in china that make it challenging. And what about the infrastructure . Isa and what about the infrastructure . Is a growing together with a number of aircraft that have been ordered . China is adding more airports across the region. The problem is they dont have a lot of traffic. They might bea dont have a lot of traffic. They might be a bit of overinvestment. The major centres, shanghai, beijing, they struggle to keep up with that traffic. The philippines has been one of asias Fastest Growing economies in 2013, but is it seeing signs of a slowdown . According to the latest trade figures its deficit jumped according to the latest trade figures its deficitjumped to 2. 8 billion in may, the biggest gap since data was recorded in 1980. The Trade Numbers led to a sell off of the philippine peso, which dropped to its lowest level against the us dollar since 2006, and that is a nine year low. Earlier i asked our correspondent what is happening. Nine year low. Earlier i asked our correspondent what is happeningm is partly a reflection of the Trade Deficit that we got yesterday, and thatis deficit that we got yesterday, and that is coming back after a few sessions, may be almost a month now the peso has been underperforming on the peso has been underperforming on the lack of science it has been stabilising. It is notjust a Trade Deficit. Since president duterte took office, we have seen the depreciation of the peso. Is there also a Political Risk being included in the week currency . Yes, i agree. There is some Political Risk which is being priced in, ithink there is some Political Risk which is being priced in, i think a lot of it has to do with the uncertainty of the new government under president duterte and what sort of reforms he can carry over from the past, and whether he can really implement them. I think slowly that uncertainty is coming off, but now we are having a lot of these Trade Numbers that are kind of an expanding deficit, but also the bsb looking like they are not going to hike rates any time soon, which is what a lot of people expected. So why are we seeing the Central Bank Of The Philippines intervening to stem the pesos for . I think they have the ammunition to do it, because they have a lot of reserves at the moment. But i think the fact they have allowed it to weaken so far is because they are a little bit relaxed about how much inflationary consequences are weak peso has. And it is positive for incomes, because Purchasing Power becomes higher. M it is also a double edged sword. It is good for overseas Filipino Workers who are committing to the philippines, for the outsourcing sector, but not so good for Foreign Investors who are sending money back to their home countries. This is where there is a lot of concern about the currency. Given its fundamentals, and the fact it is still underperforming, does not go well with what markets are expecting at the moment. So i think, provided things will be stable and the bsb comes in from time to time to keep it from fluctuating too much, i think that will stem that. What do you think of the peso by years and . Right now forecast is for 49. 5, so we are seeing a bit of appreciation from here. Social media can have an impact on politics and business.
