[governance] Sharing article on "end-to-end networking"

Wed Oct 22 01:15:21 EDT 2008

Fouad and all,

  FWIW the biggest single threat to the Internet as it is today is
the Patenting of it's various central protocols.  All else will flow
from that potential decision(s).  A reversion back to private networks
is, and has been underway and shall grow, how fast and broadly remains
yet another threat and/or evil, depending on your point of view.

But you can not seen PDF-files to blind persons like me, as we  can not open or read or print this format in our soft ware programs that try to convert visual screens   applications, to fit blind persons! PDF files are most of the time written as pictures, and blind people can not read pictures!  But if a PDF file is written in Adobe Reader, we may be able to read it but just from the top to the end, without any brake, and not able to print it!

I wrote this sometime ago and I would like to personally request you all to use it in whatever way it can be used, all in the context of Internet Governance and its process as well as issue risks identification and mitigation in the area of "end-to-end networking". Also the same is freely available to be either used as a capacity building tool, working paper on the issue of Openness in Internet Governance, a document to distribute to participants of any or a particular workshop or for use by the members of this forum. A brief for convenience is as follows and you are free to contact me on any discussion within this context or to share any other perspectives from the overall domain.

It also affects various political and developmental aspects of developed and developing nations and some cases disrupting the current regulatory frameworks in practice. Huge investment in international connectivity will continue to deprive developing nations of investment and funds for supporting their real socio-economic development issues unless they develop their own Internet Backbones either by themselves or by establishing international cooperation with like minded developed or developing nations. Thus end-to-end networking and net neutrality are critical to promoting freedom of expression, access to knowledge while encouraging the stable and secure functioning of the Internet by taking the Internet Governance debate to a new level of intervention and interest.
