Net Neutrality
Net neutrality started as a strictly economical issue (i.e. Google who buys IP connectivity from Level3, should not have to pay AT&T extra money when Level3 and AT&T already have an existing non-discriminatory traffic exchange agreement in place).
But now the term is being applied to damn near everything, and becoming highly political.
It is strictly a carrier issue. CARRIER. The entity who owns and operates the ‘tubes’ your IP packets move through.
If the carrier does anything to or based on those packets (blocking, rate limiting, charging extra), then it is an issue as their network is no longer neutral — the “net” in “net neutrality” stands for network, not Internet.
Blocked browsers, iOS vs. Flash, open/locked handsets, bring-your-own-device, etc. ARE NOT NET NEUTRALITY ISSUES.
The more you confuse the network and application/presentation layers, the more non-sensical this debate becomes.
