Net neutrality (net Equity) means every can access any sites without paying more charge and same speed.

The idea of net neutrality is that your ISP should treat you equally for all content you visit online. it means Your ISP should not privilege you to view some website at fast speed and some at low as well it can not block any content which a user want to visit. E.g. If you visiting Youtube or if you are visiting normal site e.g. Yahoo,  your ISP should treat you equally.

It should not be like this:

This diagram is showing that for Google and youtube, your ISP is providing you more speed and for yahoo and flicker, its diverting traffic and making speed slow

Why This Concept Is Highlighted Now ?

ISP is trying to earn more profit from both side, Customer as well as concern website.

In India, The First debate began on the Net neutrality dec 2014 when India’s leading telephone service provider announced additional charges for  what’sapp,skype, voice call etc to our users who uses his network.

It became issue before a month when Facebook launched internet.org by the tie up with Reliance and Airtel Zero. After it flipcart was objecting to this concept.After then this issue become serious issue in everywhere on the  india and then TRAI announced that he will take public opinion once after then he will think about it.Till now TRAI has received 3lakh mail to related Net neutrality.

Advantage of APPLYING NET NEUTRALITY

Net neutrality means a user can access any webpage or any site either its youtube or google, watsapp or Facebook without paying extra charges and with similar speed.
for example: when a user visit youtube, usually he pays more data rather than if he visits any other site, his data consumption is less. So it should be fare deal. By applying net neutrality, no one can charge extra data and can not make traffic on the particular site.



Disadvantage of removing NET NEUTRALITY

In India, if Net neutrality will remove then telephone providers companies will charge more money to  websites owner and will make more profit as well as they will charge more to use different website.
for e.g. Watsapp already charge $.50 after one year , in the same way, facebook will charge to visit it, you tube will start charging to customer. It means big companies will create monopoly in the market 
And you can imagine, if every website will charge some pie f then how much it would be costly to use internet. A normal person would not even think to use internet.Net neutrality should be in india so that every user can access internet without paying more and with same speed.
