Comments on: Net Neutrality made simple http://thurston.halfcat.org/blog/2006/07/01/net-neutrality-made-simple/ We are the people your IT department warned you about Fri, 9 Jan 2009 14:21:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Stuart Berman http://thurston.halfcat.org/blog/2006/07/01/net-neutrality-made-simple/#comment-21055 Thu, 03 Aug 2006 05:32:32 +0000 http://thurston.halfcat.org/blog/2006/07/01/net-neutrality-made-simple/#comment-21055 I find that Kaminsky doesn't make his case - it comes across rather as a baseless allegation against broadband providers. FCC already has and enforces regulations against illegally blocking sites and services. I find that Richard Bennett offers a better analysis over at http://bennett.com/blog/ I took the opportunity at Usenix to ask some of the nework engineers about their opinions. We tend to agree that things should be left as is and that additional regulations will most likely make things worse rather than better. Ted Stevens did get it right when he said he wasn't going to support legislation on Net Neutrality when there is no common definition of it.
