Net Neutrality Update

Heyo -

I have been doing some research for my network neutrality thesis. The fruits of my labor have left me with a general outline of my thesis and a base to start additional research.

Thesis Statement: Network neutrality must be preserved due to the fact that it is a vitally important component of freedom here in America and the most important invention of the twentieth century.

Chapter 1: A History of the Internet

Chapter 2: The Role of the Internet in Communication and the Economy

Chapter 3: What is Network Neutrality and Why Does it Matter?

Chapter 4: Legislation Regarding Network Neutrality

Chapter 5: The Future of the Internet in the Current Political Climate


I also hope to include information about how Japan overcame network neutrality struggles and discuss how the current ISP situation is mostly a monopoly.
