68What is meant by “Fault tolerant and redundancy related to the Internet”?
It means that since the Internet is a web of various different but connected blocks that are managed by separate people, there are multiple routes in which data can be sent, meaning that it would be impossible for the Internet to be taken down due to one section of the Internet being attacked or disconnected from the other devices or services. This makes it resistant or tolerant towards faults in the system and allows for redundancy in the web as a whole.
69Who owns the Internet?
No one and everyone. No one person is in charge of the entire Internet but parts of it are managed by different organizations and people.
70What is net neutrality?
Net Neutrality or network neutrality is the idea of networks being equally accessible to everyone and free from any discriminatory practices from the companies and service providers in charge of it.
