Should Internet users who send data-heavy content pay higher fees than those who are involved in activities, like sending an email, that have less content? This question is at the heart of the Net Neutrality debate. After watching a PBS video about Net Neutrality legislation, participants search the Internet for additional information on the topic, and craft a one-page persuasive editorial that expresses their position on the issue.
