Today, Network Neutrality debate is a raging issue in the US senate and the telecom circle. Although it is under scrutiny in most of the major international telecom markets (Europe, India, Japan etc.), all eyes are on US as it could well set the tone on a global pedestal.
The gravity of the issue can be comprehended if one makes a comparative study with the scenario in China, where the term 'network neutrality' already seems extinct.
The implications are not only of commercial and legal significance, but are also symbolic of the national ideals of some of the biggest international players (US, Europe, Japan, India, China)
