The debate over net neutrality has taken on a new significance with the rise of Web 2.0 and its corresponding new media texts.  Pro-net neutralists argue that a net neutrality law is needed to foster future innovation, protect Internet users' freedom of speech and avoid Internet use discrimination that is based solely on income. Anti-net neutralists assert that free market capitalism and the fact that we are currently operating on a limited amount of available bandwidth are strong reasons for opposing net neutrality policies.  Both sides offer solid evidence for their stances, and thus, the debate carries on.
