Testimony on Network Neutrality to US Congress

Abstract

Network neutrality has facilitated businesses Innovation “at the edge of the Internet.” Network neutrality has contributed very significantly to the fast and vigorous growth of the high technology sector in the United States and the rest of the world. Departures from network neutrality, such as paid prioritization, are likely not to be in the public interest and to result in a number of detriments to the total benefits of the Internet ecosystem. I present a number of reasons why we should not be concerned about short term investment patterns. It seems very unlikely that these investment patterns are a result of the passage of the network neutrality rules.
