Net Neutrality (none / 0) (#3)
by srynas on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 06:13:53 AM PDT

Moving packets on the internet should be neutral. Based on the various schemes to "manage" packet flow, I am developing a fondness for a net neutrality law. The problem with any law that may be passed to "guarantee" net neutrality will be how to prove that a neutrality violation occurred.

All laws are subject to innovative interpretations. So even though I would favor a law conceptually "guarantying" net neutrality, I suspect that by the time one is passed that it will be so riddled with exemptions and loopholes that it would allow the interpretations of packet management that would actually allow "violations" of net neutrality principles.
