The rise of data-intense streaming media services such as Netflix and the concentration of power in large Internet service providers such as Comcast and Verizon have raised the questions of how Internet access will be parceled out and paid for among content providers and consumers. For instance, the concept of net neutrality encompasses questions like, "Will my Netflix streaming work?" and "Will the Internet still be an egalitarian medium where all players are treated equally?" >>
