Net neutrality
The term was coined by Tim Wu in 2003.
It is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.
It means that the Internet Service Provider may not discriminate between different kind of content and applications online.
It guarantees a level playing field for all websites and Internet technologies.
In this, all data on the Internet is treated as same and is not discriminated or charged differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment or method of communication.
Under this principle, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.
In net neutrality all traffic on the Internet should be treated equally, the service providers should allow access to all content without favouring any particular product or website.
