[governance] [lack of] Net Neutrality for Mobile Internet in different shapes and forms?

[Lee W McKnight]

On a related note....we (we = Lee with assistance of SU iSchool grad student Wyan Smith)  are  preparing a chapter on 'Open Internet and Network Neutrality.' 

For a forthcoming online bibliographic reference work from Oxford University Press.

The chapter is to include/annotate up to 150 references on the topic(s).

Now the request of fellow igcers (and lurkers): 

If you happen to have some favorite 'net neutrality' and/or 'open Internet' references, please forward to Wyan at: wysmith at syr.edu.  Only reward I can offer for your possible good deed is..a possible mention of your name in acknowledgments.

thanks,

Lee

Meanwhile, this ?net neutrality summit? which it is feared will give rise to a 2 speed internet is happening in the UK today.... watch this space.

-neutrality

There is already a 2 speed Internet.

Pay $10 a month and get one speed, pay $50 a month and get a higher one.

Roland, why dont you just accept, and not keep confusing people, that there is big structural difference between differing speeds as per what content user pays, and differing speeds as per what content provider pays, and the Net neutrality issue deals with the second issue alone. You dont have to agree with the NN guys on what is right and what is wrong, but why keep muddying established definitions.

What people want is the $50 Internet for $10, and for everyone in the country to be able to watch a High Definition[3] TV programme at once.

No, that is not at all what NN advoactes want, and you know that. This is now gone to the levels of outright misguiding propoganda.
