An Introduction to Net Neutrality: Do we need regulation in India?
2
What is Net Neutrality?
3
“A literal interpretation of network neutrality, for working purposes, is the principle that all electronic communication passing through a network is treated equally. That all communication is treated equally means that it is treated independent of (i) content, (ii) application, (iii) service, (iv) device, (v) sender address, and (vi) receiver address. Sender and receiver address implies that the treatment is independent of end user and content/application/service provider” - BEREC, ‘Response to the European Commission’s Consultation on the Open Internet and Net Neutrality in Europe’, September 2010
