Net Neutrality

"The principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites."Many believe net neutrality to be primarily important for the preservation of internet freedoms. A lack of net neutrality would allow network providers to charge consumers more. "Network owners may be able to block competitor Web sites and services, as well as refuse access to those unable to pay." Small businesses and entrepreneurs have been able to thrive due to net neutrality. For big businesses this would make competition between companies. The consumers would choose what service provider has the best websites accessible loading it's data faster. For compaines that are dominant in a certain area would benefit because it would force consumers to pay the extra cost due to lack of variety of providers.
