Abstract
Net neutrality emerged as one of the most hotly debated topics in technology within the last decade and, at its current rate, the contention will likely persist for the foreseeable future. The term refers to a wide set of standards and principles that collectively regulate Internet service providers’ implementation and control of communication and content on the Web. Under these regulations, ISPs are required to treat all users and traffic equally, lacking the ability to offer preferred access or restrict content based on any number of factors. Naturally, these principles have significant implications regarding the economy, consumer rights, and other facets of the Internet, and much of the discourse and research surrounding this issue continue to focus upon these aspects.
