As it currently stands in the US, net neutrality rules exist to ensure a level playing field on the internet, and the FCC is able to enforce them by classifying broadband service as a utility. That is likely to change under the current administration, and if you're wondering what the web could look like without rules in place to prevent ISPs from doing whatever they want, just look at Portugal.

Net neutrality rules are not regulated in Portugal in the same manner as the US, and at least one ISP is having a field day with that. The website for MEO, a Lisbon-based telecommunications firm, lists data package add-ons that are broken down into several categories, such as social, messaging, video, and so forth.
