What is Net Neutrality?


What is net neutrality?


I've heard about this issue for several months now but I never gave it much thought. Now however, I saw a post of Tyler Mulligan, a blogger who commented in my "Nexuiz 2.4 Screenshots" article, that has a video about what is Net Neutrality and ohman, you should read the resources below.
