Meanwhile, activists argue that it creates a uneven playing field, and that "fast lanes" and preferential treatment benefit incumbents and harm competition.īack in October 2015, the European Parliament passed the Telecoms Single Market Regulation, which addressed - among other subjects - net neutrality. Carriers and ISPs are generally averse to the idea of net neutrality, wanting to retain more control over their networks, and because of the additional possibilities for monetisation that it provides. It's one of the most bitterly fought battles in tech policy. In a world without net neutrality, a big company like Netflix could pay the carrier to treat their data preferentially over others, ensuring smooth streaming for their customers. Simply put, net neutrality is the principle that all data on the internet should be treated equally by carriers and ISPs companies cannot pay more to have their data reach users faster, and carriers cannot charge for "fast lanes," if net neutrality is enforced.
