Sommario/riassunto

In this riveting treatise, coauthors Bob Zelnick and Eva Zelnick sound the alarm on the debilitating effect that looming regulations, rules, and powerful interests would have on today's regulation-free Internet. The authors lay out the imminent threats?from ?network neutrality" to FCC regulations?that would rob this global, society-changing, communication powerhouse forever of its full potential.
