| Edwards Endorsement: A Case for Neutrality | | 2008-02-15 01:19:53 | | According to several different media sources John Edwards is still deeply torn between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. According to the Huffington Post, Edwards is, "as split as the party he once hoped to lead -- and is seriously considering supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite the sharp criticism he leveled at her on the campaign trail, according to former aides and advisers." Edwards was a sharp critic of Clinton throughout the campaign but towards the end of the campaign began losing faith in Obama. ABC News reported that Edwards is split between his head and his heart in deciding who to endorse. Obama’s message of change is linear to Edwards’ message throughout his campaign of changing Washington, but he feels he may not have the toughness to be president. When it comes to Clinton, Edwards head is leaning more to her, who he thinks is mentally tougher and tested more in the political arena.

| | The case for "verifiable vendor-neutrality" | | 2007-07-12 18:57:00 | | "Open standards are clearly a good thing. Hurrah for open standards, etc. Nail my hat to the ceiling! But anyone who has been involved in community and consortium committees where there are commercial rivalries engaged knows that the thing that kills or corrupts a standard is when the spirit of mutual accommodation is overtaken by the spirit of competition. When I look over the standards that I have been to one extent involved with, at ISO, W3C and tangentially at IETF and OASIS, the golden rule is that the standards that come out of a nasty process have problems. The rancour during the Open XML debates does not auger well either for ODF and Open XML, in this respect, but I am an optimist." Excellent analysis of how we should approach the "open standards" or "verifiable vendor neutrality" issue. 100% on point for our Long Island 3.0/Long Island Congress project. | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |
| | Sen. Allard and Net Neutrality | | 2007-06-30 03:42:51 | | Recently, I posted on net neutrality. In that post, I urged readers to contact their various Senators. I followed my own advice and sent my Senators an email. One of those Senators, Sen. Wayne Allard, responded… at least, his office responded. Below is a portion of that response.
As a United States Senator, I believe I should help ensure that policies are in place to foster timely deployment of broadband to all sectors and geographical locations of American society. The current debate in the U.S. Congress and across the nation is concentrated on whether additional laws and regulations are needed to ensure the development of competition and its subsequent consumer benefits (often referred to as “net neutrality”), or conversely, whether more laws and regulations would be overly burdensome and discourage investment and deployment of such services. Congress should be careful in approving legislation without first examining its ramifications on economic growth, innovation | | By: Hell's Handmaiden | | |

| Net Neutrality is upon us | | 2007-06-24 17:44:40 | | What is Net Neutrality?
Well, right now what we have is net neutrality. What in means in a nutshell is that everyone pays the same fee for the same access to the same lines that make the web work. Anyone who wants to build a website can build one and be sure that it will load for most people most of the time. Small voices compete with large ones. Large voices have to compete with small ones. That is net neutrality.
The nation’s largest telephone and cable companies — including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner — want to be Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow and which won’t load at all.
Save the Internet, FAQ
Well they own the lines don’t they? Yes. Yes they do.
Imagine, though, that you were to apply for telephone service and find that you could not get such service because the telephone company executives do not like the business you run? Suppose that you could get service but it only works during non-business hours– u | | By: Hell's Handmaiden | | |
| | Internet Neutrality... | | 2007-06-13 08:30:00 | | The next time you use the Internet, type the phrase “net neutrality” into your favorite search engine. You might be surprised by all the information you’ll find on network neutrality — a topic that most Americans have never even heard of. And yet, for anyone who uses the Internet — for e-mail, online shopping, research or recreation — the principle of net neutrality is vital for keeping the Internet the open communication platform we have come to know.Put simply, net neutrality protections ensure that network operators provide nondiscriminatory access to the network and online content. Think about it like this: When you make a phone call, the telephone company can’t keep you from talking to whomever you want, or prevent you from talking about whatever you like. Net neutrality applies the same operating principle to Internet communication.Net neutrality is nothing new; these provisions have been in place since the Internet’s inception.
