The term "net neutrality" is - simply put - understood as the neutral transmission of content by network operators, without having made differences in certan content concerning access and transfer speeds. However, this is already misleading, because in terms of limited network capacity, this sooner or later has to lead to different priority classes relating to the network. This is also covered by law, in particular within the so-called private autonomy, which allows to request different prices for different speeds. However there must not be any interference regarding the Content (no "censorship") and has to ensure transparency in the contract. A legal regulation is not necessary because the issue of content and difference can be defined by contract and regulatory acts of the competition here.
