Federal rules mandating network neutrality – the concept that all internet traffic should be treated equally – were upheld recently by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision was hailed as a win by civil-rights groups, entrepreneurs and tech giants like Google, as well as the Obama administration itself, which had proposed the rules in the first place. Under them, internet service provider companies are prevented from giving speed boosts (or delays) to traffic of certain types or from certain sites.
