Net Neutrality and Zero-ratings

Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers (ISPs) treat all online traffic equally and openly, without discrimination, blocking, throttling or prioritisation. Zero-rating is a commercial practice whereby an internet access provider applies a zero tariff, or a tariff that is more advantageous, to all or part of the data traffic associated with an application or category of specific applications, offered by partners of that access provider.
