Network Neutrality
Network Neutrality is a principle coined by Colombia University Professor Tim Wu that denotes the fair and equal treatment of quality that an internet service provider (ISP) must abide by. It must follow that there should be no discrimination towards content, website, or application. This would mean that an ISP must not intentionally slow, block, or charge money for access to online content like showing preference to one video streaming site by slowing access to other competitors sites. Without network neutrality, "individual ISP's can provide higher connection speeds to certain websites or throttle access to others". Where proponents of Network Neutrality argue that it helps maintain the freedom of access to information, promotes competition, and regulates ISP monopolization.
