Princeton Professor releases paper on Net Neutrality
Professor Ed Felton of Princeton has a new Net Neutrality paper (Nuts and Bolts of Network Neutrality direct pdf link). I’ll be reading it on the train ride home. Thanks to ipdemocracy for the tip.
One quick note; Professor Felton advocates “doing nothing” at the end of his paper. He seems to mean: don’t enact Net Neutrality legislation but he states “do nothing”. I don’t take that to mean that he thinks that we should stop pressing the telcos to respect Net Neutrality, just that he doesn’t think now is the time for legislation.

That's right. By all means, urge the telcos to keep their networks fair and open, and maintain the threat of legislation. But I don't think it's wise to legislate now.
