What&#39;s the problem with zero-rating?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It makes traffic for specific apps free of charge. Convenient \u2014 but should carriers get to pick which services to favour? That question cuts to the heart of net neutrality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Neutral pricing on your phone plan, the safety of IoT gadgets at home, the quality of your video streams (IPv6) \u2014 2017&#39;s agenda was everyday life. And every venue was open for anyone to join.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Japan IGF?
