Comments on: Open Letter Supporting Proposed Net Neutrality http://john.jubjubs.net/2009/10/19/open-letter-supporting-proposed-net-neutrality/ my semi-regular stream of consciousness Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:56:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ander http://john.jubjubs.net/2009/10/19/open-letter-supporting-proposed-net-neutrality/#comment-12650 ander Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:32:24 +0000 http://john.jubjubs.net/?p=1038#comment-12650 What a strange font. I'm trying to concentrate on what you're writing, but I keep thinking about how artsy-craftsy your font looks instead of what the text means. With many people's blogs this would be an advantage, but you actually have interesting things to say. Hey, I've got it: Since your blog has a Share Alike license, I'll copy the text, paste it into a text editor, and read it there. I can even add my own in-text comments, apply different colors to passages I find especially significant, and maybe even forget the whole thing and try to sleep again, which you're probably wishing I'd thought of first. Thanks, BTW, for being instrumental in this fabulous browser, without which all of this would still be possible, but probably without as many add-ons. What a strange font.

I agree with your assessment that most of the pieces in the WSJ to date have been against. (Although, for the record, I don't actually think the collected Op-Eds of the Wall Street Journal are really definitive in terms of how we should set policy.) The net has been neutral for the last 15 years, except since about 2001-2002, which is quite clear in the report from Berkman that I cited. What we're debating at this point, is in a transition to a mobile + wired Internet, whether we need to insure things like non-discrimination of types of IP traffic (like VOIP). And yes, I do think that a small number of rules will make sure that the Internet stays explosively innovative & pro-business.

The article you cited is simply a statement of fact about the Open Letter. A great majority of the Journal's articles, such as <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/09/24/telecom-analysts-downplay-net-neutrality-concerns/" rel="nofollow">this one</a> on the subject are in opposition. As you stated, the net has been neutral over the last 15 years are so. Do you really think putting the government in charge is going to fix this lack of a problem?
