This Heartland Policy Study by telecommunications and information technology expert James G. Lakely examines the philosophy that underlies the movement for network neutrality. “Neutralism” is a strange and radical philosophy that stands in striking contrast to the innocuous-sounding Internet “freedom” its advocates call for. Understanding the philosophy of neutralism helps explain why network neutrality would have consequences that are quite the opposite of what its proponents claim.
