ISOC has gone a step further and stopped using the term "network neutrality" in general. This is due in large part to the problem you described quite well here - the term is loaded with emotion and largely undefined. They are now using the phrase "Open Internetworking" to describe their stance on the issue. For what it's worth, here is a good document recently published which defines that stance: http://www.isoc.org/pubpolpillar/usercentricity/20100222-Inter-Networking.pdf ~Chris <disclaimer>I am the founding chair of the Colorado Chapter of the Internet Society - CO ISOC</disclaimer> > Regards, > Mark. > > -- @ChrisGrundemann weblog.chrisgrundemann.com www.burningwiththebush.com www.coisoc.org
