^{Democracy & Technology Blog} Eminent Net-head Says No to “Neutrality”

Bob Kahn, a key developer of the early Internet, says net neutrality is just “a slogan.”

“If the goal is to encourage people to build new capabilities, then the party that takes the lead is probably only going to have it on their net to start with and it’s not going to be on anyone else’s net. You want to incentivize people to innovate, and they’re going to innovate on their own nets or a few other nets….”
“I am totally opposed to mandating that nothing interesting can happen inside the net,”
