Panel: |
Network Neutrality vs. Network Diversity: The Debate Between Open and Proprietary Broadband Architectures |
One of the most important and persistent questions in broadband policy is whether Congress and the FCC should mandate an open architecture, in which network owners are required to make their networks available to all content and applications providers on a nondiscriminatory basis, or should instead permit network owners to deploy proprietary architectures. The resolution of this issue will have implications for emerging applications, such as VoIP, as well as the basic structure of the Internet itself.
This panel will explore whether Congress and the FCC should mandate an open, interoperable architecture or should permit network owners to experiment with proprietary systems, taking into account the impact of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Brand X, the ongoing proceedings before the FCC, and Congress’s efforts to overhaul the statutes governing the regulation of communications. |
