He offers a clear-headed analysis of the high stakes in this debate about the Internet's future, and fearlessly refutes the misinformation and misconceptions that about' Professor Rob Freiden, Penn State University Net Neutrality is a very heated and contested policy principle regarding access for content providers to the Internet end-user, and potential discrimination in that access where the end-user's ISP (or another ISP) blocks that access in part or whole. The suggestion has been that the problem can be resolved by either introducing greater competition, or closely policing conditions for vertically integrated service, such as VOIP. However, that is not the whole story, and ISPs as a whole have incentives to discriminate between content for matters such as network management of spam, to secure and maintain customer experience at current levels, and for economic benefit from new Quality of Service standards. This includes offering a 'priority lane' on the network for premium content types such as video and voice service. The author considers market developments and policy responses in Europe and the United States, draws conclusions and proposes regulatory recommendations."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aDigital divide 606 $aInternet 606 $aNetwork neutrality$vPopular works 606 $aRight to Internet access 606 $aTelecommunication policy 606 $2Internet & WWW industries 615 0$aDigital divide. 615 0$aInternet. 615 0$aNetwork neutrality 615 0$aRight to Internet access. 615 0$aTelecommunication policy. 700 $aMarsden$b Christopher T.$0295840 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 912 $a996214902503316 996 $aNet neutrality$9765499 997 $aUNISA
