Re: Net neutrality today -- playing the "safety" card
by Susan
Someone sent me a comment that he can't post because of where he works. One of the security arguments against neutrality is that the government needs to be able to ship packets around quickly and reliably in an emergency. If you give the major telcos packet prioritization, they can make some packets flow more smoothly . . . for a while. But the open ecology of the Internet is the biggest driver of innovation and investment, and those paces will slow. How many years will it take before "priority" service for the government's national security needs will be slower and less reliable than plain-old-IP service would have been on a neutral network? Hmmm?
