EXPLORING THE DIFFERENT REALMS OF NET NEUTRALITY

Abstract The core principles of net neutrality advocate the transmission of data without any discrimination and additional consideration. It aids in a level playing ground for all the new entrants into the market. This paper provides a framework to evaluate and elucidate the effect it has on innovation and competition and eventually shifts its focus to illustrate legislations of various countries throwing light on renowned judicial precedents. The authors have also put forward certain recommendations as deemed fit to them. The recommendations strike a balance acting as a middle ground to which both diverging groups might comply with. The authors are in strong support of the principle of net neutrality and the notion that net non-neutrality will have a negative impact on the consumers and the economy as burden of extra cost will trickle down to be borne by them.
