Describe gaps in current laws or regulations surrounding Net Neutrality as identified in the literature (cite 3-5 researchers). This is where you could bring in both sides of the argument, for and against Net Neutrality regulation.

Propose a policy that would fill the gap. Include 1) your recommendations for measuring compliance, and 2) a future research project that would shed light on the policy’s cost, impact, success or failure

Net Neutrality
Net neutrality is the requirement that all the internet providers should not in any way limit or
regulate access to any information or site on the internet. In essence, net neutrality is a principle
of internet use (Damiani, 2019). The policy requires that all the internet providers do not regulate

content, information, and even sites unconditionally. They would intentionally slow down,
hinder, deter uploads of files, or even charge an extra fee on the websites for them to allow users

faster speeds or on discounts.

that need urgent attention. Is as much as the internet neutrality policies aim at providing fair...
