Net Neutrality

Net neutrality is the principle that governments should mandate Internet service providers to treat all data on the Internet the same, and not have the ability to run their businesses as they choose or charge differently by the type of application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content even though they may slow down usage for other customers on the same service.
