<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Norbert,<br><br></div>Thanks for sharing this. I admit I'm puzzled by one statement in Konstantinos' blog post (I put him in copy as I don't know if he's on this list), i.e.:<br><div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 3:50 PM, Norbert Bollow <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nb@bollow.ch" target="_blank">nb@bollow.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
From the blog of Konstantinos Komaitis, Policy Advisor of ISOC:<br>
<br>
...Internet technology and platforms are based on some ethical<br>
considerations: the fact that everyone should have access to the<br>
Internet, the fact that the Internet does not distinguish who<br>
participates in its social construction and technological evolution<br>
(equality of participation), the principle that there should not be<br>
any discrimination in relation to the services available to users<br>
(the end-to-end principle)<br clear="all"></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not entirely clear how one goes from the end-to-end principle (at least as described in J.H. Saltzer, D.P. Reed and D.D. Clark, "End-to-end arguments in system design", <a href="http://web.mit.edu/saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoend.pdf">http://web.mit.edu/saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoend.pdf</a>, to the statement that "there should not be any discrimination in relation to the services available to users".<br>
<br>Perhaps Konstantinos or others would care to comment / elaborate?<br><br>Ciao,<br><br></div><div>Andrea<br></div></div><br>--<br>I speak only for myself. Sometimes I do not even agree with myself. Keep it in mind.<br>
