My Intro to Net-Neutrality

Network Neutrality is a matter which I have absolutely zero experience in, yet some how I have been thrown head first into a group project based solely on why our country should be shifting towards it. My hope is that by the end of this project, through research, I can make the decision for my self, based on an unbiased opinion, whether or not this is good for the internet. As of now I understand the basis for the complaint, or in other words the definition which I found to be: in it's simplest, the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally. Cut and dry it's hard to see why freedom of the web could be a bad thing but there is always catches and that's what I want to find. Why would it be bad? what effects could this have on businesses both large and small? How does this effect me and why do I care? Questions like these are undoubtedly going to be answered through the research I will do and the experience I will gain within the remaining weeks of this course.
