The fact that the European ISPs proposal (as Gambardella himself explained) is similar to that made by AT&T and Verizon should tip everyone off to their actual intent. <br>My favorite part was his answer to why they didn't take their wonderful proposal to somewhere other than the ITU:<br>
"First, ICANN is not easy to work with. Second, ICANN is linked more to
the Internet governance domain. They don't deal with such (topics)."<br>Of course telcos don't want civil society and academia worrying about such trivial topics as net neutrality...<br><br>Ivar<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

And even more: If you introduce a "business class" you have to introduce a checkpoint to seperate business from eceonomy and this can be done only via content control and DPI and leads directly to censorship. Any comments?<br>
