BLEVINS: Calm down. The courts didn't just end the open Internet. "The reports of network neutrality's death have been greatly exaggerated. Yes, the D.C Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the heart of the FCC's open Internet rules. But it also, more quietly, ruled that the FCC has authority to regulate broadband providers to protect Internet openness. In doing so, the court may have handed the FCC -- and the public -- a victory that goes well beyond network neutrality...The court vacated only these particular rules, not the FCC's ability to act in the future. Specifically, it concluded that the FCC could regulate Internet providers under a statute known as Section 706, which authorizes the FCC to take various steps to promote broadband deployment."

Suppose AT&T, Verizon etc get into the travel business*. How easy do you suppose it would be to access Expedia*? The current issue appears to be about whether the FCC has jurisdiction over setting the rules for net neutrality. Let's hope they get/claim it back so that big media moguls don't get to control every message via business arrangements with the carriers. Perhaps net neutrality is actually a Free Speech issue that's way bigger than some yellow lines round some clinics entrances. Robert * or your business.

QoS, both bandwidth and latency, needs to be properly doled out between the services that actually need it. -- Owen On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 9:30 PM, Gillian Densmore <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: http://www.popsci.com/article/gadgets/what-know-about-net-neutrality-ruling? src=SOC <http://www.popsci.com/article/gadgets/what-know-about-net-neutrality-ruling ?src=SOC&dom=fb> &dom=fb _______________________________________________ Wedtech mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/wedtech_redfish.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
