Still alive: net neutrality- the greed and the need
This discussion needs to stay alive. We admit to some evolution in our thinking on this matter. We also see this connected to the issues of web privacy and government surveillance of the internet. The three issues are fundamental to the character of the web as we know it and that set it apart from all other media sources. We are convinced that what folks are willing to accept now will have a long reach.
As it usually goes, economics and market forces will have the final say (technology will have quite bit to say, though). The above linked Ars Technica article links to this decent position paper from a business perspective. A hunch here is that the broadband providers will in a few years find themselves very much in the same position as POTS service is now. ¶ 9/08/2006 12:47:00 PM
