What is Network Neutrality?

            Network Neutrality is short term word for a simple principle over companies that operate telecommunications network. In short, companies should give an equal amount of fair treatment to internet pages like Skype and Facebook. These companies may be in a relationship with internet page companies. What they would do is make a deal with one to make a page go faster and make others go slower. An example would be At&t with the collaboration with Facebook. Facebook may go up to At&t and ask to make their page go faster while making other social websites like Skype and Twitter go slower. The result of this may be that some people might find it irritating to use Skype, and wind up using Facebook because it is faster than Skype. Not only that, some are paid, or was decided upon themselves, to block some web pages. To tell the truth, it is unfair to the other social, informational, and any other kind of websites because they worked hard as much as the telecommunication companies. As long as this keeps going, the internet might change for the worse for all of us.
