Net Neutrality has been getting a lot of attention over the last few years, but what exactly is it?
The term is usually invoked when speaking about a premium “internet fast lane” that is sold to the highest bidder. Example, Netflix paid Comcast a fee to increase the speed at which its streaming video content would be delivered to its customers.
The concern here is that large companies who can afford to pay extra to have their content delivered faster will use up all the high-speed bandwidth, leaving little for anyone else.
