Heres what i understood from my research:
Net Neutraility are some what laws that allow the FCC (federal communications commision) to have power over the internet. The FCC are 5 people apointed by the president who looks over comunications such as radio, television etc. By having power over the internet they can:
-prohibit against degrading wireless internet trafic
-able to see wireless boradband platforms
- authority to adjusut user complaints and give fines against bad actors.
Verizon agreed to voluntarily go by these requirements. Other companies are hopped to follow in suit. But who knows if having the FCC is a good or bad thing.
Although what they are doing may sound like a positive thing for wireless internet, it may also be a bad thing. Who knows how much control the FCC will take? And how will they manage their power? Who knows if they are even qualified?
