On Wednesday, the websearch giant Google announced that it has been working on a set of measures to ensure that internet service providers (ISPs) are not blocking certain web protocols, or prioritize some websites over the others.

In order to do this, the company will gather several researchers who will analyze traffic data tracked by 36 servers across the United States and Europe. Vinton Cerf, known as the “father of Internet,” stated that people often have to deal with performance slowdowns when using Internet-based services, such as file sharing and VoIP telephony. According to Cerf, some ISPs try to limit the bandwidth used by these services and hence, they infringe the concept of net neutrality.

The net neutrality debate started again after Comcast was accused for completely blocking the file-sharing protocol of its customers. This way, users were not able anymore to use file-sharing websites, such as Bit Torrent or other services of video content sharing.

Following the notorious case of Comcast, net neutrality advocates have been tracking various internet providers to see whether they block some services or enhance a website’s bandwidth, while slowing down access to its competitors.

Google is known for supporting the idea of net neutrality for a long time. The web giant has accused several ISPs in the past for altering the principles of equality and competition on the Internet, along with affecting users by affiliating with preferential companies.
