Net Neutrality

          According to Wikipedia, net neutrality "is the principle that Internet service providers and government should treat all data on the Internet equally."  A simpler definition is that the purpose is to have no discriminating to anything on the Internet.   Net neutrality is important to corporations because it allows them to get a broad range of consumers but they would prefer to make a profit. It is also important to consumers because it doesn't allow big companies to make people do things.  For example, if a big company makes a plan to make people pay for a service then that is not fair to the people that can't afford it.

         The purpose of the FCC is to monitor the Internet to assure it is neutral.  Recently, there was an outbreak where the FCC allowed a plan to let companies require a fee to customers.  The public spoke out against it causing the FCC to put this proposal on a shelf.  This was an example of how the FCC remains neutral for the Internet.  In the article it states "the FCC will enact new rules that would prevent internet service providers from manipulating how how quickly or slowly sites are transmitted."
