What Is "Net Neutrality"?

Net Neutrality (also Network Neutrality) is the concept that internet is free and open to everyone: no discrimination. Therefore, it allows all internet users to access any web pages, run some applications and devices. For example, we are able to see whatever web pages we want, use email, send instant message with messengers, view some online videos, and play with online game whenever we want because of the Net Neutrality. Moreover, we can run a blog to give our opinions or make web pages easily without getting any permission. Due to this concept, it enables us to have worldwide open communications, involvements, and freedom of speech. However, since it is open and free, there is a lot of wrong information on the sites. Thus, there is also a responsibility for users to choose the proper information.
