Tim Berners-Lee: Net Neutrality: This is Serious

The most cogent and clear definition yet of Net Neutrality I’ve read yet:

“Net neutrality is this:

‘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.’

That’s all. Its up to the ISPs to make sure they interoperate so that that happens.

Net Neutrality is NOT asking for the internet for free.

Net Neutrality is NOT saying that one shouldn’t pay more money for high quality of service. We always have, and we always will.”

There’s multiple clear, concise statements here. So Read the article You’ll be glad you did.

(it’s a completely inside joke - but the overall premise is that what wows people is as much function than form)

[Update]:Sassy. But not prententious

So if design by committee is a derogatory term, and time after time committees are shown to be completely antithetical to innovation, and experience shows that most committees tend to degrade into having one or two or three people do all the work, and its often the case that the committee decisions are just ignored anyway…

Why in sam heck do we continue time and time again to have committees? Especially in University environments?
