Net Neutrality

There are a lot of discussions going on recently with regard to ‘Net Neutrality’. When I think of the subject, I typically think of my evil ISP blocking or restricting my traffic and/or giving preference to web sites that they want me to see. I also think of the government blocking my traffic to certain sites like the great firewall of China.

I read an interesting article written by Richard Bennet where he talks about how the government should stay out of these discussions, letting engineers handle the engineering task of dictating how traffic should be controlled.

Well worth the read.
