The Web Difference

Thanks Kevin for the liveblog!

I found an article that described some of the tense moments during today’s hearing. I particularly like the part when Prof Tim Wu said, “Let me translate what he [Cohen] just said: Comcast is blocking BitTorrent and that’s the end of the story!”

Prof Tim Wu referred to FCC’s 2005 statement on broadband internet access. I guess most of the debate concerning the second principle that consumers would be able to run applications and use services of their choice.

Some speakers also referred to Japan’s and Korea’s policies. There is another article which describes these countries’ approaches. There appears to be much more competition amongst network providers in these countries.
