The Pros And Cons Of Net Neutrality
The world of network technology and telecommunications as we know it is changing right before our eyes. Net neutrality is an issue that has sparked in popularity within the recent years, and it only continues to grow in debates and recent actions taken by companies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

This means that a service provider should be allowed access to all the content and applications, regardless of source and no website or page block, unless they are unlawful. It's like a fixed telephone line, which is equal to all and no one decides who you say or what you say. Another aspect of pure neutrality is the level of field on the Internet. The speed of internet for a particular site or service will change the face of the Internet, as we know it.

Eliminating net neutrality would not only decrease cut down on business possibilities within internet companies and businesses, but also drop the number of internet users immensely. Limiting the number of users within the internet as a whole will precedingly drop the amount of activity and relevance among particular websites, small businesses, and companies. How does this produce a more adequate standard in competition? This leaves the smaller, less relevant companies to be dead in the water alongside massive companies like YouTube or Amazon.
