The architecture of the Internet is layered, and this has
consequences for regulators. This talk presents an argument that policy
makers should craft their regulations so as to respect the integrity of the
TCP/IP layers; moreover, regulators should seek to solve problems at the layer
at which they arise. Failure to respect the layers principle damages the
transparency of the internet and is inherently underinclusive and overbroad.
