Net neutrality has been much in the news lately. The Trump FCC is ready to roll back the rules to benefit corporations over consumers.
It is an important issue but perhaps a bit difficult to understand. The folks at NPR Marketplace have explained it by offering a series of analogies. The Marketplace article is very non-technical and uses analogies such as ordering a pizza or paying protection money to the mob.
It could be argued that analogies are not perfect but consideration of them may help in understanding some of the issues.
If you wanted a more detailed summary, look at the Consumer Reports page on net neutrality.
