[Chapter-delegates] IETF position on Paid Prioritization

[zittrain at cyber.law.harvard.edu]

Can anyone tell me if this statement has been issued?  I don't see 
anything on the IETF site, and there was no link in the original 
message.

The pemium service is a diffserv, and thus not Internet per se at all?

The two RFCs mentioned in the article, indicate clearly pricing, as an

2.2 Premium service






In [2], a Premium service was presented that is fundamentally

    different from the Internet's current best effort service. This

    service is not meant to replace best effort but primarily to meet an

    emerging demand for a commercial service that can share the network

    with best effort traffic. This is desirable economically, since the

    same network can be used for both kinds of traffic. It is expected

    that Premium traffic would be allocated a small percentage of the

    total network capacity, but that it would be priced much higher.

So who are you kidding, with this statement?

  Dear all

You may have seen some media coverage relating to AT&T and its 
interpretation of a certain IETF standard,

for example: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20015231-38.html

In conjunction with Russ Housley we have prepared the below statement 
to clarify:

IETF position on Paid Prioritization - Wednesday, September 1, 2010

"The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) notes recent discussion in 
the U.S.
  media in connection with "paid prioritization" of Internet traffic
and the associated RFC being discussed within the Internet's technical 
community.
AT&T's characterization of the IETF and its use of the term "paid
prioritization" is misleading. The IETF's prioritization technologies are
tools that allow users to indicate how they would like their service
providers to handle Internet traffic. The IETF does not imply any specific
payment based on prioritization as a separate service."
