Network Neutrality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality) is an issue that was largely decided by the FCC. However, the debate on this issue continues, with individual states passing their own legislation. It is an issue that is pitting some of the big name companies in telecommunications and internet services against each other and has the potential to impact startup companies using the Internet. We will see this issue again in the November 2018, and 2020 elections.
Read the wikipedia entry on Network Neutrality (posted in blackboard as well) and watch the videos on blackboard regarding arguments for Network Neutrality, and arguments against Network Neutrality.
