We've all heard about or participated in the Network Neutrality debate by
now. However, as legislation is proposed and CEO's pontificate, vital
questions remain unanswered. What does Network Neutrality really mean to
carriers, to content providers, and to our customers? What will be the
operational fallout of the current debate, regardless of its eventual
resolution? Join our "neutral" panelists as they discuss key issues:
- Settlement: Will we have a reciprocal settlement system? Should we?
- Congestion: Is talk of prioritization really just a codeword for
increasing access/backbone congestion in a time of increasing broadband
speeds?
-
The Peering Doomsday Scenario: Are we hurtling towards "Tier 0 Peering"
where AT&T and Verizon will conduct settlement-free interconnection as a
"gang of two"?
