[AfrICANN-discuss] Breaking the Internet HOWTO: The Unintended Consequences of Governmental Actions

Tue Dec 20 14:52:41 SAST 2011

You submission begs the question "should the internet conform or be
conformed", i beg to differ.....

[Ntege Badru]

The internet cannot be conformed or controlled but the pipes can be
conformed and controlled.  So the argument is not about the internet but the
pipe that delivers it to your end point and what it should or not deliver. 

Which begs the question, "what makes up the internet and by extension are
the pipes part or not?"

[Ntege Badru] 

Interesting is it chicken or egg issue.  Are the pipes not infrastructure ??
so we have infrastructure and content 

So in the good old days of national gateways all this was possible but today
with fully distributed and mirrored networks it has become more and more
difficult.  So the whole issue of control to me becomes an academic
exercise, a race between those who want to control and an internet which is
always a few years ahead of the control freaks.  On the financial side, im
afraid the issue of charging for the type of content is inevitable as long
as we live in a capitalist economy which we all dearly love until we have to
pay for something we do not want to pay for.

.....hmm, i would rather go with the school of thought that we should rather
figure out "a better way or who and how" to pay for the infrastructure that
carries the content.

[Ntege Badru]  good and noble notion but unfortunately will not work since
it needs loads of cash which will always come with a price.

Thus my view that neutrality as a concept is unsustainable.

Am indifferent.

This was my question: what are we doing/considering to do to ensure

Internet neutrality.

These are not the exact words I used as I cannot remember exactly how I

stated the question, but that was the idea.

I received only one answer from Mr NII NARKU QUAYNOR who was one of

the panelist. As far as I undestood him, his answer was barely this: this

is not

really an issue.

asking about the Internet Neutrality issue, but there was no real

interest on this I guessed.

What was the question you asked?
