I understood Charles post regarding net neutrality, that you summarized also
very clearly.
My point is that Net Neutrality conflicts with other laws and regulations as
well.
So voting for some thing for one reason, could also mean voting against it
for another.
For a strong Net NEtrality act, you'd aahve to allow FON, but for other
leegal matters, you'd have to deny FON. So it becomes a compflict of which
issue is more important to protect? Whcih has precidence?
Thats what Congress and ISPs have to decide. Its not a right ro wrong
answer. Its what answer has more (or more important) rights than wrongs?
I think Home Land Security/Law inforcement/ Privacy advocates, and Net
Neutrality experets really need to be ALL working on the Net neutrality
issue together, because its all intertwined. What I see happening is a
bunch of conflicting regulations being passed, with out rtealizing it when
getting voted on.

I think what Charles is getting at is, is it legal for an ISP to place the
'no open AP' or 'no sharing your connection' restriction on your service?
I have heard some people arguing the case that NN is "I'm paying for my
bandwidth so I can do what I want to with it".

As FON clearly has no concern for Acceptable Use Policiies, therefore
illegal activity, and AUPs are clearly allowable and enforcable
contracts.
Strategically its a great time for FON to release their venture, to test
the rules, the public, and ISPs.

out of curiosity (would like input from the pro net neutral
people) -- would blocking something like FON constitute a
violation of net neutrality?

Anyone seen FON ? This is insane.
Anyone test one yet ? I want to know what network their
hotspot runs back to, so I can block it....
Can someone that might have one throw a sniffer against it ?
