Network neutrality on Wheels!
From Free Talk Live
(Redirected from Network neutrality)
Network neutrality is essentially government regulation that forces Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide their customers equal access to any and all content on the internet. For example, without Net Neutrality, Company X could pay ISP Y to connect to its website faster than it connects to X's competitors. There has been a large outcry against deregulating the internet, even from self-proclaimed libertarians. Advocates for Net Neutraliy (like many statists) wrongly believe that internet access is a right -- as if someone has a right to make another provide a bridge for him so that he can cross a river.
