'Net Neutrality' Laws May be Needed, MUCH BETTER Panel Says
Ha. It's great that "a consensus of telecom professionals and lobbyists have reached consensus" on this issue, as the reporter says. (I wonder why telecom professionals from Skype weren't invited?) Others have not reached a consensus. I went to a different panel on net neutrality in Washington D.C. a few days after the one chronicled in Jeremy's forward. It was: Network Neutrality vs. Network Diversity: The Debate Between Open and Proprietary Broadband Architectures http://www.tprc.org/TPRC05/Sat200Sess05.htm#NetNeutral There was no sign of agreement there.

No 'Net Neutrality' Laws Needed, Panel Says Government intervention to keep Internet "open" could do more harm than good, say some observers. By Lawrance Binda Courtesy of Advanced IP Pipeline <http://www.internetweek.com/171200382?cid=test1_rssfeed>
It is amazing how media outlets are portaying assent or dissent depending on their perspective. On friday, I was listening to the bbc's fictionalization of internet governance in the future. It was fairly enlightening as to the british government perspective, if not really the BT's. The bbc podcast was in their 'go digital' series i think.

It's on BBC World Service - play again, or podcast - at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/1478157.stm This is a 15 years out view - ie 2010. And the program is made up of a variety of people's views: Accra in Ghana being a central financial powerhouse for Africa: open access/massive interconnectivity to information via the citizens register (hmmmm!); individual access and registration has to be paid for, via a net passport (who controls the sale of these?); and you need that to use any national, government service (health, or whatever); identity theft is clearly still an issue - trust your government that you (post-Iraq?) elected? How does that guarantee security, with the UN ensuring systems security? Hmmmmmm! Much the rest of it conceded that most of today's problems (worms, viruses, etc) will still be with us!
