Father of Internet Warns Against Net Neutrality

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the my-two-dads dept.

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."

    ...Robert Kahn, co-inventor of TCP/IP...

    Um, how does this make him the "Father of the Internet"?

    Co-inventor of TCP/IP, OK, but "Father of the Internet"?!? What about the CERN guys, what about the router folks, what about the...everyone else who co-invented a piece of technology that enabled the existence of the internet?

    Just ranting because I'm kind of sick of hyperbole.
