What is "Network neutrality"?

Network neutrality or net neutrality means networks are open to equal access to everyone. They are evenhanded as they do not favor any one destination or application over another. The meaning of the network neutrality is changing, and in 2006, the definition of the network neutrality means those who run networks as opposed to the network itself, where net neutrality means is generally understood to mean that the service and providers of inter net such as KDDI and NTT do not discriminate against rivals or individuals when they charge fees or when they prioritize traffic. Net neutrality is a major problem as the U.S. considers new laws of telecommunication. In general, it is mainly supported by companies that provide services at the edge of the network, and is generally opposed by companies that manage the middle of the network.

Of course the real question is why our elected politicians are letting Net Neutrality die.
