[Chapter-delegates] Statement on Open Internet proposal from Google and Verizon

[Eduardo Diaz]

I agree with ISOC position. Networks should be neutral to all traffic. There
should be an amble debate on this. The fact that the Open Internet Proposal
is being generated by two humongous, for PROFIT, big companies like Google
and Verizon is already a concern. How do we start this debate?
