Finally found an amazing definition and explanation of Net Neutrality. This is such a hard topic to explain without leaving everyone in confusion. Ryan Singel is a staff writer for Wired and in this article is interviewed and takes questions from callers into the NPR forum.
Personally tried to call in but had no luck.
Mr. SINGEL: It's a very complicated term, but essentially, there's a few principles, which is one, the Internet should be open and free. So people should be able to use the devices, the services, the application, the browser of their choice, and they should be able to have a choice between ISPs. And one of the other points is that ISPs, you know, should not be choosing winners and losers on the Internet, so they should not be choosing that Hulu will stream for free but NetFlix will cost you more.
Read on at the link provided above. Very good read if you are still a little iffy about this problem.
Heard this interview too. Keeping it for later use.
