What is Net Neutrality?

People in the U.S. make the argument about Net Neutrality, which is the idea that ways to use the Internet and its costs should be fair.

Today, the quantity of data in the Internet is increasing, for example, people can watch videos and listen to music on the Internet.
As the responsibility of the providers are increasing, their profits are decreasing.
Thus, they send data of the pay video service to users or precede users who pay additional charge in order to get more profits.

However, Google and Yahoo are against the providers.
They insist that providers should not make priority sequence because other Internet services would be difficult to use.
Providers, on the other hand, state that if Google and Yahoo claim the equality of sending data, they should pay for infrastructure.

This discussion will still continue...
