What is Net Neutrality?

Simply put, net(work) neutrality ensures that everyone's data is treated equally on the internet. Congress is in heated debate right now about the Internet. If those working against net neutrality win, telecommunication companies can impose restrictions on data flowing across the internet --- which includes giving those who pay a premium extra the right for their data to interrupt the data flow of those who do not pay.

What this means to you, the consumer, is that if IBM pays for it their internet access will come before your access, meaning you e-mails, acess to websites, etc. could be interrupted or slowed down considerably.

Net Neutrality is a grassroots effort to keep the internet free of premium pricing for speedier service.
