Net Neutrality
12:39 PM EDT 8/2/07
This article is looking at net neutrality from the aspect of deep packet inspection (DPI).
From Current Cites, July 2007 (http://lists.webjunction.org/currentcites/2007/cc07.18.7.html):
'Anderson, Nate. "[11]Deep Packet Inspection Meets 'Net neutrality, CALEA" [12]Ars Technica (25 July 2007)( http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/deep-packet-inspection-meets-net-neutrality.ars ). Information travels the Net through 'packets'. Whether we're sending email, watching video or talking to friends using VoIP, it all consists of packets. So, what if there were a technology that could identify each packet as to where it's going and what it consists of? This is precisely what 'Deep Packet Inspection' or 'DPI' does and Nate Anderson of Ars Technica does a splendid job explaining the implications. Short synopsis: Bad news for Net Neutrality (and privacy). - [13]LRK'
