Father of Internet Warns Against Net Neutrality
An anonymous reader writes "At a recent talk at the Computer History Museum Robert Kahn, co-inventor of TCP/IP, warned against net neutrality legislation that could hinder experimentation and innovation. Calling 'net neutrality' a slogan, Khan also cautioned against 'dogmatic views of network architecture.' A video of the talk is also available."
Either way, by supporting net neutrality, you will likely incur his wrath.
Fuck the internet, I'm going back to throwing rocks with notes attached.
I wonder, if net neutrality falls apart, and we end up with people charging more for high-speed pipes to certain places, will that generate a big boom in building VPN/GRE/IP tunnels to attempt to work around it? If so, that could become a very lucrative business for Cisco or any other tunnel-equipment maker/provider. Hmmm..makes me wonder if there is a new conspiracy about to brew....

Well, as a genetically engineered superhuman, you might want to listen to him. He's a lot smarter than you.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
Now you fly out to a city; you immediately get stopped because you need to pay for the roads and streets even if you are not native to that city. Now you are told you have to walk slower because your friend that you came to visit didn't pay extra for your trip.
You've been to New York too?
