Brett is 100% incorrect in spinning what Net Neutrality meant when it was proposed. It wasn't what he wants it to have been. In fact, he is the last person who can claim any expertise in saying what Net Neutrality was, is, or should be. He opposes all possible constraints on his behavior. (or is that last statement of mine spin? Brett could tell us what constraints he would accept on lariat.org). David Farber wrote:

Lauren ends with waving the magic wand of Net Neutrality. I fail to see what this has to do with that subject unless you are interested in having Net Neutrality cover all posible sims in which case nothing will be done to address real NN problems when they occur. DaveDave: This is a disturbing trend, and one that IPers and other concerned parties should be aware of. "Net Neutrality" has morphed from a very specific, well defined concept (i.e. carriers refraining from anticompetitive practices that discourage the use of competitive products, e.g. VoIP) to unbounded regulation of every conceivable practice in which ISPs might engage. In short, fine grained regulation of the Internet and government micromanagement of ISPs -- which I don't think is something most folks would want to see. --Brett Glass ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
