patent my "ball shaped protrusion for entry-way passage"? I was getting the language patent ready with such phrases like "the device claims an easy hand accessible shape installed at an appropriate height for easy use to open a passage-way". and my favorite "The device claims child safety by being too large to fit a child's hand".
Me, I'm waiting for whatever comes after...:)

A few years ago in a flurry of west-coast-itis and the dot com boom, many public ball parks and Coliseum were renamed for a price.. naming rights is what I think were sold.. So here in San Francisco, we have "Monster Park" (thanks to monster.com) which used to be "Candlestick Park" and "Pacbell Park" which might even be renamed again to "SBC Park" as SBC bought Pacbell a while ago.
And in the east bay, the Oakland Coliseum was called "Network Associates Coliseum", but the signs on the highway went to McAfee about 6 months ago..
So I hope this scandal can become a catalyst to start a public outcry to have McAfee's naming rights contract voided and us Californians can go back to naming our public buildings what they were intended.
Wonders when Microsoft will buy naming rights to the Hoover dam and call it "Microsoft Windows Vista Dam" or some such nonsense.

Net neutrality just means that providers route packets based on the RFCs, which means no degredation or enhancement of service unless the IP protocol specifies that this MUST, SHOULD or MAY happen.
Yes, IP is best effort.
In other words, route the packets from source to destination, applying QoS based on the Type of Service in the IP header.
To my knowledge, no one uses the TOS bit. QoS is best done with a more advance protocol such as RSVP http://www.cap-lore.com/Nets/RSVP.html. I only bring up RSVP because it is available to me as a programmer using specific WSAIoctl() calls on a socket. This, of course, assumes the route is RSVP enabled.
Specifically, net neutrality must prevent ISPs from charging third parties for routing IP traffic.
Yes, ISPs want the triple dip! We know this is wrong and against the agreements they have with their backbone providers.
Only directly connected peers should be part of the contract, because the IP protocol does not allow the sender of a packet to specify which hosts the packet will travel through, and thus there is absolutely nothing to base a contract on, unless the source or destination address of the packet belongs to one of the ISPs networks.
You can set a strict source route. It is an IP option. Any good firewalls look at that as suspicious for a man-in-the-middle attack. I'm not sure how that even behaves these days, but I understand what you mean. Once you've left your QoS path, all bets are off and you're back to best effort.
Since IP has QoS built in, it's obviously a good thing, and not the terrible Tiered Internet that people are afraid of.
QoS just means that some packets will have priority over others. It doesn't say that some protocols or destinations or sources of IP packets will have that priority, just the ones with certain types of service.
Ok, I hear ya. Even though I wanted to look at this originally as a technical issue inside a "political" one, it really just is a "political" battle for the ISPs and backbone providers wanting a triple dip payoff.
Anyone should be able to buy higher classes of service for their packets, and put whatever they want inside those packets. That's net neutrality, because it favors decisions at the endpoints of the Internet instead of the middle.
But herin is the issue, isn't it? End-to-end over the internet doesn't exist. And let's say the backbones do want to turn it on.. Isn't this "Net Neutrality" from the technical stand-point?
over the Internet play into this "Net Neutrality" thing in any way? Right now, QoS (RSVP) isn't part of IPv4 and doesn't progress outside of a LAN... So if the possibility to enable QoS over the Internet makes some packets more valuable at a cost premium (to the sender or reciever? With snailmail it is the sender who pays for first-class rather than third-class) regarding traffic control, the results are the others will become less valuable.
I somehow sense QoS is the unspoken center of this whole debate...
