El futuro de la Web ante la neutralidad de la Red: Estado de la cuestión en la Unión Europea

Abstract

The future development of the web largely depends on net neutrality, that is, ensuring that all content, sites and platforms are treated equally. This article assesses the origins and motivations that exist in the debate about network neutrality. Then it focuses on the two distinct views regarding net neutrality: the Openists, supporters of an open net without restrictions, on one side and Deregulationists, naturally suspicious of any government regulation, on the other. Finally, this article describes the net neutrality regulatory framework within the European Union.
