WHAT IS NET NEUTRALITY?
Net neutrality generally corresponds to the following principle:
Each user has open access to the internet, so that all internet data traffic is provided equally and without discrimination.
As such, shut-offs, slowdowns, or any other discriminatory treatment of internet traffic are prohibited, except for some very specific exceptions.
As part of their use of an internet access service, end users can in particular “access information and content, and distribute, use, and provide applications and services (…)” over the internet. In order to access the internet, end users are free to choose a terminal equipment (smartphone, etc.) which is compatible with the technical specifications of their internet service provider.
