What Is "Net Neutrality"?

The term "Net neutrality" means a kind of rule on the Internet so that Internet users are always in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. Actually, many companies such as Google and Yahoo has launched, grown and innovated with this neutrality. One example is this: when someone pay to connect to the net, the person can get the same amount of information as others even if there were people who payed more or less money for the same purpose. In this kind of case, money to pay depend on the quality of provider service when they buy the computer, so it does not decide the amount of information he or she will get. It also prevents companies related to the Internet from discriminating against other competing companies or having power to control the market. However, this neutrality does not mean the Internet for free, nor someone should pay more money for higher quality of service. This is just for the equality for every people to get information.
