"Common Sense About Network Neutrality"

Publication Type: Other Voices
Date: 6/2/2006

This paper, entitled “Common Sense about Network Neutrality,” was part of an effort organized by Wharton professor Gerald Faulhaber. As an article on the Wharton website ("Getting a Fix on Network Neutrality") puts it:

Faulhaber convened a meeting of scholars -- including David Farber, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, Christopher Yoo, a Vanderbilt law professor, and Michael Katz, an economics professor at the University of California Berkeley's Haas School of Business -- to consider the issue. The group concluded that mandating network neutrality could have adverse effects on Internet development and result in unforeseen consequences. Any legislation "is a problem when the Internet is in a state of flux," says Faulhaber.
