Vint Cerf's Internet Safety
June 15, 2011 08:10 AM
At the Internet Society INET conference, there was wide-ranging discussion on a variety of topics, from Net neutrality to privacy. A highlight was Vint Cerf's keynote in the afternoon. He focused on the importance of safety mechanisms for those using the Internet--safety in terms of being protected from abusive behavior and safety in terms of the ability to speak freely and, where and when needed, remain anonymous. These are big issues in the international theater.Think Net Neutrality Will Kill Innovation And Jobs? Think Again
December 20, 2010 10:10 AM
I simply do not understand how Net neutrality detractors think that the proposed rules the FCC wants to put into place could hurt innovation. Even a cursory read of the rules shows that they are trying to set a level playing field, ensuring that those who control the last mile cannot arbitrarily limit or restrict access to Internet services. Open access does not stifle innovation. Open access to Internet services is the catalyst to innovation. Let's face it: Telcos and cable companies are the least innovative companies around. They only innovate to protect their turf.FCC Focuses On Waxman 'Net Neutrality' Framework
December 03, 2010 12:11 PM
With the Federal Communications Commission's announcement that it will review net neutrality on Dec. 21, the real devil will be in the details: What framework will be voted on by the commissioners, who are already divided, perhaps irretrievably? The focus then is on "the framework" developed by Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman of California, who is chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.The Level 3/Comcast Fight Is About Money, Not Net Neutrality
November 30, 2010 03:35 PM
Level 3 is positioning its peering dispute with Comcast as a net neutrality issue, when in fact it's a business conflict. By claiming that a clash over money is actually a defense of users being able to access Internet resources, Level 3 may hurt the net neutrality effort because it confuses the issue. As a supporter of net neutrality, I think this is the wrong approach by Level 3.Opposing Net Neutrality Means Opposing Innovation

Since the elections, the tech media has been buzzing about the loss of support for net neutrality which the FCC set forth in this proposal. I am a proponent of Net Neutrality because I think the proposed rules make sense. Take my word for it or go read the proposal yourself. Let me be crystal clear. If you are against Network Neutrality, you are fighting for your on-line experience to be tailored by your carrier's business arrangements. You are fighting for crippled access to services YOU want to use, even more fragmentation in wired and wireless service, and crippled phones with pre-installed crippled software using crippled services.Net Neutrality: Where The Money Goes

As we all know, Google and Verizon have reached a private agreement to for Google to pay for priority shipping of its bits over Verizon's networks. Both companies are getting beat up for that agreement. Google is getting beat up because they have long been proponents for net neutrality and have turned their back on the wireless side. Verizon is getting beat up because they are Verizon. But the pernicious FUD that is spread about Net Neutrality is appalling. It started long before October 2009, when the FCC rules were proposed, and hasn't stopped since. Net Neutrality doesn't stop providers from doing business. It does attempt to stop them from doing business unfairly.FCC Urged To Act On Net Neutrality

The broadband debate will shift from private deals among carriers and content providers to regulatory solutions including reclassifying the Internet as a Title II telecommunications service, according to Senator John Kerry. Pointing to the "Congressional stalemate" over broadband regulation Senator Kerry said the FCC is likely to move ahead on a regulatory solution for oversight of broadband after public outcry over the FCC's private meetings with companies caused the FCC to drop the meetings.Last Day To Comment On FCC Rules; Don't Be Swayed By EFF FUD
January 14, 2010 12:14 PM
Last day to comment on the FCC network neutrality rules. But yet again, an organization is trying to wrongly conflate an unrelated issue with network neutrality. I suppose I should expect better from the EFF. The organization does, after all have an agenda to promote and while I think the organization has done some good work in protecting civil liberties and freedoms, they are wrong on the FCC proposed rules and their claimed loophole allowing the proposed rules to not apply to copyrighted works. They have put up a petition asking people to sign, I'd urge you not to. Service providers should not be compelled to transfer illegal content.Deadline On FCC Net Neutrality Rules Closes Soon; Go Comment Now

IT pros have long enjoyed the benefits of standards-based network device interoperability and the innovation, competition and low prices it spawns. But in today's mobile broadband market, it's like the1 | 2 | Next Page »
