Analogy for Net Neutrality
ISPs are like UPS or Fedex to the web. They deliver packets from sender to receiver.
With net neutrality, they must place equal priority on each delivery and deliver the packets untampered.
Without, they may open, inspect, modify, delay, or even halt packets of their choice.
