A lot of citizens can directly express at low cost on the internet. Many participation of citizens makes innovation on the Internet. In other words, the internet’s end-to-end design and an open access platform are the very simple principles of the Internet network that is the most important elements of innovation on the internet.
But if the Internet Service Providers have the ability to manage the traffic on the internet, many Internet Service Providers will turn into the gatekeeper to control the information such as contents and application in the near future. This means the infringement of Network Neutrality on the internet that is maintained as an open platform.

Despite deregulation stream, Federal Communications Commission aggressively makes the rules of Network Neutrality.
In this paper, I will look into meaning of the Network Neutrality Regulation in the overall flow of U.S. media regulation.
