[Air-l] net neutrality by another name, oecd report

[Marcelo Thompson Mello Guimaraes]

This is very lucid, to say the least. In my perhaps mistaken perception,
debates that focus only on the narrow part of the hourglass architecture to
call this 'network neutrality' do not encompass but a limited perspective of
neutrality (and of the network). For these debates ignore the complete
ecology of games implicated in the other layers, they are not neutral at all
(this not to question if neutrality can exist in any instance). Furthermore,
are we neutral when we make evaluative choices, and, mostly, when from these
choices we devise... principles? In other words, was the choice for the
end-to-end principle any landmark of neutral political concern?

Good news.
