[Chapter-delegates] NPR Article 3.7 Million Comments Later, Here's Where Net Neutrality Stands

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Hi,

"Timeo Danaos et hot-dog stand analogies of the Internet ferentes" ("I fear
the fierce Danaid warriors, especially when they carry hot-dog stand
analogies of the Internet."

Seen from outside the US our fear of a mandated regulatory regime for the
Internet that is too similar to the telecommunications regime is no
smaller. The effects on content regulation and others may end up being a
nightmare. Tying things up forever in US litigation may be another
nightmare.

Outside the US we might also shrug all this off and establish "native"
regulations for Network Neutrality. We must act decisively to stop
legislation that may be only a bad copy of foreign regulation as well as
legislation and other rule-making that does not align with the legal
traditions, state of the market and economics in each country. Scott Marcus
has done a great job in explaining the differences between Europe and the
US in articles and in a video that Joly, with characteristic good aim,
shared recently.

Let me invite all to read the texts in the Report of the Dynamic Coalition
on Network Neutrality presented at the IGF, plus the record of the sessions
on the subject. The report is in
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4CMvT0NORh9YlRxWjI1ZHhRRlk/edit?pli=1 and
contains texts by Vint Cerf, several specialists with widely diverging
points of view, and one by myself.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
