I agree 100% Laura. Sufficient capacity makes QoS unnecessary.

I think your “resolved” leaves out an important point. The greatest bar to an open internet is the lack of universal availibility, the slow speed of our connections and the high cost for those who are connected. We need public policy to require high speed, affordable internet for all. We need more systematic build out. The more capacity, the less problems with restrictions. See http://www.speedmatters.org for more on the need for public policy examples.

I think it is abundantly clear that the net neutrality issue is not going to go away. As the Internet matures the threat of corporate interference if not wholesale takeover through monopoly of the â€œwiresâ€ that connect us will increase rather than decrease. Despite the seeming success of the net neutrality proponents, legislation is not the solution. Not only will this result in a fee-fest for lawyers and lobbyists but it only addresses the problem in the US. Are we going to try and get every government in world to pass the same laws?

The best and only way to counter this threat is by owning the â€œwiresâ€ on a collective, open source style basis. The gist of the idea is outlined http://www.embraceinsanity.com

I’ve just launched this initiative which is explained in a short video at the above-mentioned site. As you will hopefully see, the idea is not as insane as it sounds.
