The Stand for Net Neutrality

This article provides a detailed explanation of net neutrality, defining it as the principle that ISPs must treat all internet traffic equally. It argues for its importance in preventing ISPs from blocking/throttling content, creating tiered internet speeds, and stifling innovation by favoring established companies. The author uses the example of zero-rated data bundles in Kenya to illustrate potential anti-competitive effects and emphasizes net neutrality's critical role in Kenya's transition to a knowledge-based economy.
