Zombieland - Net Neutrality rises from the grave

by Larry Downes, posted on September 21, 2009 - 5:19pm

Net neutrality is back. Rather than rehash my earlier arguments against it, I point out a few relevant differences between the legislation proposed last time around and the proposed rulemaking described in Chairman Genachowski's speech today:

The “open” design of the Internet couldn’t possibly have said anything about access, in other words. As it stands, the concerns of those who are pushing for Net neutrality have to do with traffic management between the ISP and the end-user, that is, on the last mile. No ISP can tinker with the flow of packets once they enter the cloud, which is part of the genius of the design. Let’s be clear that it isn’t the design of the “Internet” that’s at issue here, but rather the regulation of access provisioning. Rhetorical devices are part of the reason no one can talk calmly about the subject.
