[Air-l] 'Net Neutrality' Laws May be Needed, MUCH BETTER Panel Says

[csandvig at uiuc.edu]

Ha.  It's great that "a consensus of telecom professionals and
lobbyists have reached consensus" on this issue, as the
reporter says.  (I wonder why telecom professionals from Skype
weren't invited?)  Others have not reached a consensus.  I
went to a different panel on net neutrality in Washington D.C.
a few days after the one chronicled in Jeremy's forward.  It was:

  Network Neutrality vs. Network Diversity: The Debate 
  Between Open and Proprietary Broadband Architectures
  http://www.tprc.org/TPRC05/Sat200Sess05.htm#NetNeutral

There was no sign of agreement there.
