On Network Neutrality
Network Neutrality is an approach to providing network access
without unfair discrimination between applications nor between content
nor between the specific source of the traffic.
If there are two applications or services or
providers that require the same network resources and one is
offered better quality of service (delays, speed, etc.) or
is cheaper to access, then there is a discrimination.
