Glossary
Net Neutrality: Characteristic of data networks which give equal priority to all transmissions as they cross the network. The general understanding about it is that it is a principle of non discriminatory behavior by network access operators to any type of application / protocol, where the risk of jeopardizing network resources is normally not considered. This means that all electronic communication passing through the network is treated equally and that the handling of the traffic does not depend on the content of the communication, which service or application that uses the communication or the address of the sender or receiver of the communication. From a consumer perspective, network neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet.
