The ways in which Internet traffic is managed have direct consequences on Internet users'
rights as well as on their capability to compete on a level playing field. Network neutrality
mandates to treat Internet traffic in a non-discriminatory fashion in order to maximise end
users' freedom and safeguard an open Internet. This book is the result of a collective work
aimed at providing deeper insight into what is network neutrality how does it relates to human
rights and free competition and how to properly frame this key issue through sustainable
policies and regulations. The Net Neutrality Compendium stems from three years of discussions
nurtured by the members of the Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality (DCNN) an open and
multi-stakeholder group established under the aegis of the United Nations Internet Governance
Forum (IGF).
