Network neutrality

Network neutrality came to discussion in 2005, and many people are serious rekindling of interest in it. It means the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. It is this neutrality that has allowed many companies, including Google or Yahoo, to launch, grow, and innovate. Fundamentally, net neutrality is about equal access to the Internet. Today, the neutrality of the Internet is at stake as the broadband carriers want Congress's permission to determine what content gets to you first and fastest. In Japan, The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) is planning to make the institute of network neutrality from October in 2006 to 2008.
