Secondo Holman W. Jenkins jr. il principio della net neutrality è superato. Il problema ora - secondo lui - è la guerra per far passare contenuti video nel cavo. E per quello ci sarà bisogno di competizione, prezzi e mercato.
OK, the Internet probably won't collapse, but we're already seeing worrisome signs. In-Stat, the data firm, predicts 2011 will be a year of "sticker shock" for broadband users. Netflix, the video-streaming darling, has seen its stock dinged by fears of higher bandwidth bills. Hard to envision is how the cloud's promise will be fulfilled without a dramatic shakeup in the way broadband is priced and prioritized (i.e., forget net neut). Luckily we have an alternative principle, called a "competitive marketplace," which has already shown its bona fides in practice. The evidence is precisely that meager handful of incidents that make up the usual net neut indictment.
