Isenberg on Wikipedia on Net neutrality

David Isenberg has an excellent post on the implication (based, alas, on a misuse of something I'd blogged) that because we may not know exactly and precisely how Net neutrality will be applied in every instance, we therefore do not know what Net neutrality is. To use David's implied analogy, we don't know in every instance ahead of time whether a killing was a murder, we're quite clear about what murder means.

IMHO net neutrality is something that is only undefinable in terms of the future technology.

Legally, economically, and even in terms of it is a concept that has some complexity to it, and it's under consideration by many influencial individuals, but it's basically a question of ownership rights, shared costs, and content distribution-- not as much as how the technologies might be used.

best,
