Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally without discrimination. This means that ISPs should not prioritize or charge differently for different types of online content, sites, platforms, applications, equipment, or modes of communication. Without net neutrality, ISPs could derive extra benefits by shaping internet traffic and implementing "package plans" for over-the-top services. This could harm innovation on the web and give ISPs too much control over how users access online content and services. The document argues for the importance of maintaining net neutrality.
