According to 2017 article by the American Civil Liberties Union, the authors explain the whole process that has been happening with the Net Neutrality. On December 2017 the congress began with a plan in order to end with the net neutrality, consequently, giving big telecommunications the powers to disfavor smaller websites and favor the websites that can provide the money to pay for better access. Also, with the end of net neutrality, the telecom companies will be able to interfere with the data flow of the internet by blocking traffic and communicators that they do not want to be transfer and speeding up the traffic that has the privilege

According to 2020 article "Impact of the Net Neutrality Repeal on Communications Networks" by Hatem A. Alharbi, Taisir E. H. Elgorashi, and Jaafar M. H. Elmirghani, the authors explain the impact that Internet Service Providers will have if the repeal on net neutrality occurs. The authors explain net neutrality as the principle of treating all network traffic the same way regardless of its source, content, destination, etc. With the research using the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP), the results show that with the end of Net neutrality the Internet service providers will have a profit increase with a pricing scheme that discriminates against data-intensive content.

According to the 2019 article "The Loss of Net Neutrality and What It Means for Brands" by Steve Heisler, the author explains the big impact that small business and technology brands will have with the loss of net neutrality. Not only big brands will have to fight over the best internet speed in order to run their online services. Small business will have to change their marketing tools because online ads will load slowly if they do not have enough money to compete against big brands. Also, e-commerce will have to deal with slow website performance and technical issues because of competition against big companies, for example, Amazon.

The 2015 article “Net Neutrality with Competing Internet Platforms” by Marc Bourreau, Frago Kourandi, and Tommaso Valletti explains the three different cases that are impacted by net neutrality. First, we have the opponents that state that with the net neutrality regulation, the Internet service provider's incentive to invest in broadband will be reduced with less entry of content providers. Second is the proponents of net neutrality that states that losing net neutrality would cause reduction in innovation in broadband capacities. Finally, end users claim about the fees paid to the ISP and the internet connection and content that they get.

Data neutrality affects all the information that is transferred worldwide in the network. It gives us free access to send and receive any type of information that we want without being modified or intercepted. By saying that, data neutrality will affect the data networks by providing to businesses several ways that it can process their information and to allow it the free access to any type of data they will be looking for. Also, besides the access to business information, companies will suffer a lot without net neutrality. They will have to compete against large brands to get better internet connections and contents, running a lot of small businesses out of business. Net neutrality will lead to IT efficiency by giving the companies the freedom to send any type of information according to the business’ choices and plans.
