Can someone put the Net Neutrality rule into LAMANS TERMS?

First, you are not 'Dumb'. Now to your question. Put simply, the principle states that if a given user pays for a certain level of Internet access, and another user pays for the same level of access, then the two users should be able to connect to each other at the subscribed level of access.

Network neutrality (in it's very simplest form) is the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally. Net neutrality advocates have established different definitions of network neutrality. Here are several for you: 'Absolute non-discrimination'. 'Limited discrimination without QoS (quality of service) tiering'.

The Net Neutrality rule is not meant for people like you and I to understand or make sense out of it. Lawmakers make the rules so the average individual can't and never will make sense out of the laws they pass. That's the reason there are so many lawyers in Western countries. To understand and/or manipulate these laws for monetary gain.

Here is an example of Corporate 'Greed' these changes have been meant for and I quote: " The rule is so riddled with loopholes that it's become clear that this FCC chairman crafted it with the sole purpose of winning the endorsement of AT&T and cable lobbyists," Free Press and SavetheInternet.com Campaign Director Timothy Karr wrote in an editorial posted on the Huffington Post blog.(This was printed yesterday Dec 20th, 2010)

I'm sure I haven't help much, but maybe just a little.
