well I'm new to the debate myself, but it may affect us all – 'net neutrality' is a movement to keep the infrastructure that feeds the internet (cables and fiberoptics etc.) democratic...so that all information is equally accessible to the world at large
the opposing side is represented by the cable/internet service providers, who want to charge premium rates to companies with dough for 'faster lanes on the internet super highway' for premium content – effectively bringing market forces into the mix and allowing big companies to drown out the little guys for things like streaming hidef TV/video...
or so the propaganda goes...I'm sure someone else on here could do a better job explaining
