By Andreas Pouros – Net neutrality, or Internet/network neutrality is the principle that people simply shouldn’t mess with the magic of the internet and should take a hands-off approach with its administration; more specifically that governments and internet service providers (ISPs) should not place any restrictions on the internet’s content or means of accessing that content – two users should essentially have access to the same content in the same way.
Fios is a bundled home communications service Verizon offers that makes use of an end-to-end fibre optics network, offering internet, telephone and television. Verizon cannot offer it over the Internet, given neutrality requirements, so it is offered as a network separate from the internet. more> http://tinyurl.com/23dsum4
