Opponents also say the move will stifle growth, as not all network traffic will be treated equally. They believe the rules will create “fast lanes” for so-called “specialized services with quality requirements.” This would subsequently mean network owners would be able to offer zero rated services and offer net neutrality exceptions.
Net neutrality is a principle which means all internet traffic should be treated equally – from big corporations to the average home user. Internet providers were against this because they in effect had to pay for huge companies to transfer web data.
“The internet’s open structure is what made it the successful driver of growth and innovation in the digital economy and digital culture that it is today. That providers will be allowed to discriminate against certain traffic not only creates a two-tier internet, it also removes incentives for carriers to extend their capacities,” said MEP Julia Reda, a shadow rapporteur for the Greens/EFA group.
