I think the basic idea is behind net neutrality is to regulate internet service providers (at all levels) so that they do not alter network routing, DNS, etc. to suit their own interests. For example, I think that today it is perfectly legal for a service provider to direct you to joesshoes.com when you type shoes.com into your browser, and then get kickbacks from joesshoes.com. How likely is this to be a problem? I don't know. It would seem that competition could prevent this - as long as you regulated agreements between ISPs. There are probably also much more subtle aspects like search engine results.
