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."

    So we should allow the highest bidder to choke off the bandwidth from their less wealthy competitors? Honestly, can someone explain to me how this would be a good idea?

    ...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.
