A Comparative Analysis of Net Neutrality in Colombia, India, and the United States

This paper examines net neutrality as a fundamental principle of internet governance, focusing on its implications for freedom of expression and digital inclusion. Drawing on comparative policy analysis, the study explores the legal and regulatory status of net neutrality in Colombia, India, and the United States. By analyzing how political, social, and regulatory contexts shape national approaches, the paper highlights key societal factors influencing policy development, including access to information and the digital divide. The findings illustrate that differing net neutrality frameworks produce varied consequences for internet users, internet service providers, and content providers, particularly in terms of competition and equitable access. The paper contributes to ongoing debates on how net neutrality can support a fair and open digital environment.
