- The worst about the Internet is its incredible equality based upon 
such an equally rotten quality.
- Technically, net neurtrality is that the same information unit 
(bit) is always sent end to end at the same rate, speed, reliability 
and quality of service.

Now please tell how you conciliate the best-effort basis of the 
Internet technology and the user's best-service expectation in an 
unperfect Internet world. Lessig says the good/bad constitution is in 
the source code. The source code is defined by the RFC. When the 
people who write RFCs say they have no civil right background nor 
much interest in civil right issues, don't the are only a few chances 
they build what you want.
