Simply, Net + Neutral = To treat any network or a service of it with equal importance.
It argues that the internet service providers should not prioritize any data over another.
Net = Network Neutral = to be equal
Think of this space as “how much info can be delivered to you.”
Notice, it’s finite.
INTERNET
----------------------------------->
BANDWIDTH
You may be under the impression everything delivered over the internet has the same opportunity
to get to you as fast as your connection allows.
Some companies have struck deals with ISPs
to have their content delivered via something called a “fast lane”.

While some are zooming in the fast lane, others are crawling in the slow lane.

The FCC has come in favor of keeping internet bandwidth neutral
in attempt to prevent companies from paying for preferential treatment
because they’re worried market forces will compel internet providers
to devote more bandwidth to premium content providers able to pay for speed.

Letting Internet providers use “pay-to-play” would put startup sites
and smaller companies at a disadvantage.
An open internet puts everyone in the
same boat.
Web developers everywhere must continue to meticulously refine their code to deliver robust content in as light and
efficient manner as possible.
Pros of Net neutrality: 1. No Restrictions 2. No Throttling 3. No Censorship 4. Lower cost of Internet 5. Promotes innovation, drives entrepreneurship, stimulates ISP competition Cons of Net Neutrality : 1. Higher expenditure for ISP 2. Ease of access to certain sites 3. No Competition
Finally, on 2nd Feb 2015, the FCC enacted its strongest-ever rules on net neutrality,
preserving an open Internet by prohibiting broadband providers from blocking or slowing
content that flows across their pipes.
The internet will remain “open.”
Some of the powerful & well known people & websites are in full support of Net Neutrality…
It was in October 2007, Barack Obama, the world’s most powerful man pledged to
support for net neutrality.
