Net neutrality must remain a core Internet principle

[Commentary] The success of the Internet is largely due to the fact that, since its inception, users have been able to pick and choose from all the material on it, regardless of the carrier used to access it. This model has led to one of the greatest technological revolutions of all time. It is now in jeopardy because of a US appeals court ruling last week that threw out the Federal Communications Commission's 2010 rules requiring broadband providers to treat all Internet traffic equally -- the concept known as network neutrality. The ruling is reasonable under current law, but the FCC has the power to change its regulations and make net neutrality rules legal. It needs to act -- and users need to rise up in large numbers to keep Congress on their side.
