> "Net Neutrality" is nothing more than an Orwellian named, amorphous and vague idea that nobody really knows what it means.

The 2015 Open Internet order's rules take up all of 8 pages. You could know what it means if you actually wanted to and were willing to put in a little effort.



(This is a response to a response to my comment by @ppf. That comment is dead, so I cannot reply directly to it)

Sure. Take that document you linked to, and take out the hundreds of pages that are summaries of the rules, recounts of the history of net neutrality regulation, explanations of why we need net neutrality, analysis of the legal authority for the rules, discussion of past court cases on net neutrality, the Commissioner's comments, and all the other extra things in there that are not the rules, and you'll be left with 8 pages that are the actual rules.

To save you some time, the authors of that document have already done that for you, and put the results in APPENDIX A -- FINAL RULES, which starts at page 283 of that particular version [1] of the document.

[1] I've seen other versions that are the same content, but are paginated differently.
