Net Neutrality means an internet that enables and protects free speech. It means that ISPs should provide us with open networks and shouldnt block or discriminate against any applications or content that ride over those networks. Just as your phone company shouldnt decide who you call and what you say on that call, your ISP shouldnt interfere with the content you view or post online.
Without Net Neutrality, cable and phone companies could carve the internet into fast and slow lanes. An ISP could slow down its competitors content or block political opinions it disagreed with. ISPs could charge extra fees to the few content companies that could afford to pay for preferential treatment relegating everyone else to a slower tier of service. This would destroy the open internet.
