Why It Matters: Net neutrality is based on the principle that internet service providers like Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA), AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), and Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) are required to treat all internet traffic equally, ensuring uniform speed and access, no matter which company is behind the content.
重要性：網絡中立性基於這樣一個原則，即Internet Plus-related服務提供商如康卡斯特（納斯達克：CMCSA）、AT&T（紐交所：T）和Verizon（紐交所：VZ）有義務平等對待所有Internet Plus-related流量，確保無論內容背後是哪家公司，都能提供統一的速度和訪問。
Supporters of net neutrality argue that these rules are crucial to prevent internet service providers from abusing their power, such as throttling access to certain websites.
網絡中立性的支持者認爲，這些規則對於防止Internet Plus-related服務提供商濫用權力至關重要，例如限制訪問某些網站。
