Sir Tim breaks it down:
If I pay to connect to the Net with a certain quality of service, and you pay to connect with that or greater quality of service, then we can communicate at that level.
If you still are unsure how this affects every single online business. Read his essay.
Not to nitpick, but Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the WWW, not the internet.
It’s a fair point, he got us on the web rather than the underlying technology. Still, I think it would be horrendous to lose net neutrality. We must support this goal.
Shoot you’re right. Tim is the WWW guy, not the internet.
Isn’t Al Gore the Internet guy? ;o)
If Berners-Lee is fine with paying for quality of service, why did the Markey and Snowe amendments explicitly ban charges for quality of service?
