Advantages of Network Neutrality
- Fair play: According to net neutrality regulations, no one who is wealthier gets preferential treatment. In the absence of net neutrality regulations, US broadband providers may impede the speed of small businesses’ websites or services because they lack the funds to pay for so-called fast lanes.
- Freedom of speech and expression: ISPs shouldn’t be allowed to restrict or censor content on websites just because they don’t agree with it.
- No exceptions: Net neutrality ensures that everyone has access to everything on the internet.
- No extra fees for content: Broadband providers might charge businesses for better services like online gaming and faster video streaming if net neutrality regulations weren’t in place. In the event that this occurs, these businesses will pass on their increased financial burden to the customers..
What is Network Neutrality?
We all must have heard the term ‘Net Neutrality‘ but only a few of us would know about it. When we go online we expect to be connected to whatever website we want and to have access to whatever content we want. In other words, we expect that our internet service provider isn’t messing with the data and is connecting us to all websites, applications, and content we choose.
