| Net Neutrality refers to free access to the Internet without discrimination 
| based upon how often a user accesses the Internet or how much broadband 
| capacity they utilize. Advocates for Net Neutrality believe that users are 
| entitled to unlimited access in order to preserve current freedoms as well as 
| to prevent broadband providers from abusing their power to block applications 
| they do not favor or to discriminate between content providers. Critics of 
| Net Neutrality and associated legislative proposals believe that Net 
| Neutrality rules would reduce incentives to upgrade networks and launch next 
| generation network services and, in turn, inhibit the most efficient access 
| to the broadband network.

| For the last 15 years, Internet service providers have acted - to use
| an old cliche - as wide-open information super-highways, letting data
| flow uninterrupted and unimpeded between users and the Internet.

| But I.S.P.'s may be about to embrace a new metaphor: traffic cop.
