Net Neutrality

This document discusses network neutrality, which is the principle that all internet traffic should be treated equally without restrictions on content or platforms. It provides a brief history of net neutrality concerns, including legislation supporting net neutrality in 2007 and companies blocking or throttling traffic in 2007-2008. The document outlines arguments for and against net neutrality. Proponents believe it fosters innovation and open communication, while opponents such as cable and telecommunications companies argue they have invested in infrastructure and need mechanisms for upstarts to pay for network use.
