Abstract

Net neutrality has been the subject of much debate and discussion in recent years. It has been driven by a set of regulatory policies adopted in the last twenty-five years, freeing service providers and content owners from the rigid separation of their functions into restricted domains. The term net neutrality applies to service or broadband access providers requiring that they treat all traffic equally without regard to origin or destination and its characteristics. This chapter discusses the market participants in the net neutrality debate and the impact of imposing strict neutrality or offering some degree of flexibility to the service provider or the provider of broadband access.
