[AusNOG] Fwd: [Internet Australia - members] Net neutrality

[Vijay Sivaraman]

Hi Laurie, Skeeve, and everyone,

I would like to weigh in (as an academic) on the net neutrality discussion - we have recently authored a position paper that surveys perspectives from around the world.

This is to appear in the ACM Computer Communications Review (CCR) journal in Jan 2016, and is freely available at: http://www2.ee.unsw.edu.au/~vijay/pubs/jrnl/16ccr.pdf

I am most welcome to any comments on our article, including pertinent things that we may have omitted, and your views on what we (the research community) can do to shape the net neutrality debate in Australia.

Regards,
Vijay

So,

Ziggy wants to have a discussion about Net Neutrality.  Well, he should join Ausnog where everyone is and have that discussion.

My first opinion is that no, the NBN should not have a right at all to decide on whether OTT companies are charged extra. He is free to have an opinion like anyone else on the discussion - but not a right to decide at all.

But NBN is one of the biggest reasons that the OTT players like Netflix are an issue because of the costs of their CVCs.

I think the debate at the moment should more be about the government writing off the NBN as an asset so they don't have to do cost recovery and should be able to eliminate the CVC charges entirely.
