A Quote by Tim Wu
Net neutrality is the principle that the service providers who control or access, who own the pipes, should not favor some content over another. It's, you know, an even playing field for stuff on the Internet, and, you know, I think it's very important to the medium that it have a rough quality among contents. Everyone has their shot.

In the Internet world, both ends essentially pay for access to the Internet system, and so the providers of access get compensated by the users at each end.
