Description
NET NEUTRALITY
Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet users can connect to any other point in the network. Users
can create, access and use any content, service and application they choose, without discrimination,
restriction or limitation imposed by those who run the infrastructure.
Net neutrality can be explained with this example. To watch a video online we connect to the Internet,
open browser and navigate to the video service of choice. This is possible because the access provider
does not seek to restrict our options. Without Net Neutrality we might instead find that our connection
to video service say YouTube is being slowed down by your access provider in a way that makes it
impossible for us to watch the video. At the same time, we would still be able to connect rapidly to
video service say Netflix and maybe watch exactly the same content. There are many reasons for the
access provider to do this for example, the internet access provider might have signed an exclusive
agreement with this second video platform or provide their own video services and therefore want to
encourage you to use these instead of the service that you initially preferred.
I would like to utilize this opportunity of writing an article to know more about Net Neutrality. I
choose Net Neutrality as the topic for my research paper. I look forward to learning more about
the subject. I would like to know the feedback on my topic which I think will help me be on right
path.
