Noted Net Neutrality opponent reconsidering his position
Four signs America's broadband policy is failing
http://j.mp/JR0r4B (ars technica)
"In 2008, I wrote a paper for the Cato Institute questioning the
need for network neutrality regulations; I argued that the
Internet's decentralized architecture made it inherently resistant
to mischief by broadband incumbents. While I'm still skeptical
about the wisdom of network neutrality regulations, I've become
more concerned about the state of the broadband market in the four
years since writing that paper. In a March article for National
Affairs, I made a case for regulatory action to prevent further
consolidation of the largest broadband firms. What changed my
thinking was less the theoretical arguments set out in that piece
than it was a sequence of developments in the telecom marketplace.
It forced me to reexamine my own assumptions about the state of
the broadband market."
