Net neutrality is not about hardware infrastructure or destination internet service speed, it is about all content and sources having equal priority and not being subject to a "pay to play" scheme.
For example in a scheme of net neutrality, which has been the case since the internet as we know it came into existence, content from Sinodefenceforum and content from Reuters are transmitted to anyone who requests it with equal priority. All content are therefore equally accessible assuming all other factors are the same.
In a non-neutral net a new factor of paying for priority is introduced for sources of content or content. Sinodefenceforum or Reuters or any other source pays for higher priority in the transmission of their content. This creates a situation where a source or content which does not pay or does not pay enough can essentially become inaccessible.
Reuters mentions this:
Considering the Ukraine is basically an active battlefield within an even bigger strategic conflict this puts Nemtsov up there with the likes of Edward Snowden and Bradley/Chelsea Manning in terms of either idealism or treason.

That's pretty much it. Net Neutrality is a god-send for the common user because it will prevent ISP's from throttling much of the content you currently consume. For anyone not clear on the in's & outs and the problems this will help avoid, Just look up the term 'throttling' in relation to Internet Service Providers. Government Regulation in this case is a good thing.

well, Russian Stalinists are cheerful:
(even though I expected this type of reactions to Nemtsov's death, I'm appalled)

sorry, I was just editing my previous post, but made it a new one by mistake -- having seen that discussion I quoted, I don't feel well right now

Sad to hear of the murder of Nemtsov, but the reporting in the Western press is OTT to the point of hysterical.
"Leading and Prominent"? How So?
He was a failed politician, who promoted discredited policies in the utterly discredited Yeltsin government, to whom the only people to benefit are the "Oligarch" (I prefer to call them gangster) set, now mainly based in London and who made their money under the Yeltsin administration when they were able to loot and plunder the country without let or hindrance.
Nemtsov lost power in 2000, left the Rada in 2003 and now heads a party with no MP's and which has barely registrable public support.
To be "Leading or Prominent" you must have a significant party machine and large numbers of elected officials nationwide and of all types in you party and you must be close to being able to succede the current administration as the next (or at least a major coalition partner). I am sorry but Nemtsov was none of the above.
The implication of the media is that he has been assassinated by order of the Kremlin. Again, sorry, but this is bunk and the equivalent of Putin stamping on a doormouse.
The only people who have any way to benefit from this murder are the enemies of Putin; at home and of course abroad. I think one of the talking heads on Radio 4 this morning gave the game away. "Maybe this will give the impetus to the fractured, fractious and disunited opposition parties to unite and start working in unison"
Sounds like a motive to me.

How so? According to Putlerbots there is no war going on in Ukraine and most definitely there isn't any Russian troops fighting in there. Just ask Mr, Viking from Bristol or any other Putlerbot who lives in West (hypocrites).
