Importance of Net Neutrality.

Importance of Net Neutrality.

Today in the 21st-century internet have become an important and indispensable part of our life. The Internet offers us various platforms to show our talents, generate money through it, and entertain ourselves by just a single click.

Using internet we can communicate from anybody from any part of the world to any part of the world. People who cannot go away from their home can show their talents to the whole world without any hindrance and can earn money. Moreover, because of the internet, today from rich to poor everybody can be their own boss.

But, we are able to do all this because the internet provides us the space to do all this without any discrimination. But what when the internet will not be neutral for us.

Today it’s a big concern that if the net neutrality will not be there then what will happen to the users. Net neutrality is a term which means that the internet should be provided to everybody at the same speed, at the same price without any discrimination based on different sites. There are many countries like India which offers its citizen net neutrality but many which do not.

In today’s era net neutrality is very important, not only for big business but for the common public as well.

If there will be no net neutrality then any service provider can ban any site or slow down any site or fast any site. In case if one powerful and big company who have an asset can sign a contract with a particular network or net service provider to fast down his website and slow other’s website, then the user will not have any power to access other site and by default, the traffic will go to his site, but if the small websites which do not have so much of asset will get slow to people’s access the network traffic will automatically decrease from their website and hence they will not be able to earn money. Today WhatsApp, Instagram, twitter are common social media sites which are used frequently by users and hence  have a lot of traffic, but what if our net service provider will ask us to pay more for using these apps along with our data value pack.

In India we should be blessed that the internet is neutral for everyone as without net neutrality it can create a lot of hindrance for people. Moreover, if there was no net neutrality then people would not have options for searching from different sites, watching different aspects and reading different blogs. Imagine if any information is wrong on one site and people do not have the option to go through different sites, then it can create misconception in our mind and can lead us to know the wrong information.

Moreover, if the net will not be neutral for us then we will not be able to access any information freely through the internet. So, it’s important for the internet to be neutral in every aspect for the people.
