今天，联邦通信委员会决定以第二章的规定保护互联网，这是互联网和网络中立倡导者的一大胜利，也是这一问题双方大斗争的开始。但这里有一个相当大的问题，什么是网络中立？

答案并不总是那么清楚，而且取决于你首先从哪里读到今天的新闻，你对这个短语的解释可能会有点不同。这并不是说任何人都是彻头彻尾的错误，但概括一个抽象的概念可以接受各种不同的解释（当然，我们对自己的解释是片面的）。是的，已经有数百个独立的“什么是网络中立性？”解释者，而且肯定还会有数百个。但对于那些只从一个新闻来源阅读了今天FCC决定的一条新闻的人来说，他们可能认为这意味着：

《****》：在《网络中立胜利》中，F.C.C.将宽带互联网服务列为公共事业

The new rules, approved 3 to 2 along party lines, are intended to ensure that no content is blocked and that the Internet is not divided into pay-to-play fast lanes for Internet and media companies that can afford it and slow lanes for everyone else.

《今日美国》：FCC批准新的网络中立规则

Net neutrality, also called open Internet, is a principle that Internet networks are equally available to all types of legal content generators.

The U.S. Federal Communicati*** Commission on Thursday voted 3-2 along party lines, with Democrats in support, to set new so-called net neutrality rules that would regulate Internet service providers more like traditional telephone companies.

《华尔街日报》：联邦通信委员会批准网络中立规则，为法律之争打下基础

"The rules prohibit Internet service providers from blocking Web traffic or charging websites for priority service.

*****：联邦通信委员会批准了强有力的网络中立规则

***：FCC规则支持“网络中立，更严格的提供商规则”
