Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That’s a principle known as “net neutrality”-and it says that an entrepreneur’s fledgling company should have the same chance to succeed as established corporations, and that access to a high school student’s blog shouldn’t be unfairly slowed down to make way for advertisers with more money.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under net neutrality, whether a user connects to Netflix, Internet Archive, or a blog, his ISP has to treat them all the same. Without net neutrality, an ISP can decide what information users are exposed to.

Detailed explanation-3: -Government is committed to the fundamental principles and concepts of Net Neutrality i.e. keep the Internet accessible and available to all without discrimination.

Detailed explanation-4: -What happens if we don’t have net neutrality? Without net neutrality, ISPs can discriminate against web traffic based on the bandwidth consumed, the nature of the content, and business agreements with websites, apps, and services. They can degrade bandwidth or completely block access to some websites.
