Computer Terms: What Is "Net Neutrality"?

The computer term “Net Neutrality” (is a short term of “Network Neutrality”) is a state that any document, application, or site on the Internet has an equality to be found in the search engines in spite of how much the site owner pays the Internet providers’ companies. This is a necessary for the open and free Internet to be prevented from controlled by the Internet providers’ companies.

The reason why this term “Net Neutrality” is getting one of the Internet issues is that in the United States, some largest national telephone and cable companies, such as AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner, are trying to persuade Congress into making a new law which allow them to get the control of their own search engines based on how much they are paid.
