Litan, Robert E. "Why Business Should Oppose Net Neutrality." Harvard Business Review. N.p., 13 Aug. 2010. Web. 01 Dec. 2014.
Many of the opposing net neutrality articles discuss the consequences from average internet user’s point of view; however, Robert E. Litan shed light on why business should oppose net neutrality. By doing so he hopes to gain powerful business leaders that are on the same page as him. Business that typically require enormous amount of data for the company to function properly will now have to go through the FCC and not the ISPs if the new non-discrimination proposal is passed. The author explains what this law is and how and why businesses should be concerned.
van Schewick, Barbara, and David Farber. "Network Neutrality Nuances." Communications Of The ACM 52.2 (2009): 31-37.Business Source Complete. Web. 1 Dec. 2014.
The article mentions Net Neutrality, offering two authors’ contrasting views on the issue. The notion is explained as the fundamental principal that internet users should have the power to access every website and application without discrimination or interference from their Internet Service Providers. Article starts out by giving Barbara Van Schewick’s point first; she worries that violation of Net Neutrality will invade internet user’s privacy by monitoring individual’s activity. For instance, ISP will know people who searched for a car and display car ads after striking a deal with car companies. She is concern that ISP will manipulate the speed of the user who uses a lot of data. David Farber offer counterpoints to Net Neutrality supporters; he says that internet cannot be predicted, thus laws should not be created to change the path of net’s developing process. He also mentions that this competition between different ISPs are responsible for many digital advances.
Pogue, David. "The Net Neutrality Debate in 2 Minutes or Less." Scientific American Global RSS. N.p., 18 Mar. 2014. Web. 01 Dec. 2014.
In this article, David Pogue discusses the intractable tech battle of Net Neutrality. He goes into the root of the problem and analyze why this argument began in the first place. Pogue also predicts the effect of each outcome and why everyone should be attentive of this debate. Net Neutrality supporters compare internet service to phone service; the phone company can’t worsen the connection if they don’t approve of the caller or the receiver. Pogue argue that times have changed, as the internet continues to adjust, the Internet Service Providers must tune to the changing web to sustain their company.

Guo, Hong, et al. "Net Neutrality And Vertical Integration Of Content And Broadband Services." Journal Of Management Information Systems 27.2 (2010): 243-275. Business Source Complete. Web. 12 Dec. 2014.
Whether broadband service providers (BSPs) should be allowed to vertically integrate with content providers is a contentious issue. This is even more so when viewed through the lens of the net neutrality debate, since the vertically integrated firm can prioritize the delivery of its own content at the expense of that of its competitors if net neutrality is not enforced. Using a game-theoretic model, we analyze the issues of vertical integration of content and broadband services surrounding this debate from an economic perspective. Our analysis establishes the various equilibria in the game and shows that the vertically integrated BSP does not have any incentive to abide by the principles of net neutrality.

According to Neelie Kroes, the European Commission Responsible for the Digital Agenda, 'the internet is a great place to exercise and enjoy liberty'.

It cites the two elements that composed the NN framework including the obligation of neutrality.
Gans, Joshua S. "Weak Versus Strong Net Neutrality." (2014): EconLit. Web. 6 Dec. 2014.
This paper provides a framework to classify and evaluate the impact of net neutrality regulations on the allocation of consumer attention and the distribution of surplus between consumers, ISPs and content providers. While the model provided largely nests other contributions in the literature, here the focus is on including direct payments from consumers to content providers. With this additional price it is demonstrated that the type of net neutrality regulation (i.e., weak versus strong net neutrality) matters for such regulations to have real effects.
