[governance] Network Neutrality: a Roadmap for Infrastructure Enhancement

[Luca Belli]

Dear all, 



I would like to invite you to participate – in situ
or remotely – to IGF workshop 172: Network Neutrality: a Roadmap for Infrastructure
Enhancement  that will be held on 3 September from 11:00 to 12:30 (see: http://sched.co/1k5ALnS )

 

The
workshop will interrogate such questions as: 

(i) how does Network Neutrality* (NN) relates to network enhancement? 

(ii) is the market alone able to provide appropriate answers to guarantee
network enhancement in accordance with the NN principle?

(iii) how can governmental policies promote private investments in network
enhancement without impinging upon the NN principle?

(iv) is there room or need for State-subsidized network infrastructures?

*the IGF Dynamic
Coalition on Network Neutrality elaborated the following NN definition: “Network neutrality is the principle according to which Internet traffic
shall be treated equally, without discrimination, restriction or interference
regardless of its sender, recipient, type or content, so that Internet users’
freedom of choice is not restricted by favouring or disfavouring the
transmission of Internet traffic associated with particular content, services,
applications, or devices”
see:  http://www.networkneutrality.info/sources.html


The abovementioned
definition inspired the European Parliament that, in the first reading of
the “Connected Continent Regulation”, affirmed that “The principle
of ‘net neutrality’ in the open internet means that traffic should be treated
equally, without discrimination, restriction or interference, independent of
the sender, receiver, type, content, device, service or application” see :
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&reference=P7-TA-2014-0281&language=EN
