It's also not hard to understand why the primary interests of researchers (and the organizations that sponsor their research) may conflict with other citizens. That's the advantage to open debate -- certainly a core value of the net neutrality advocates. The true challenge, I guess, is to preserve both values, freedom and innovation.John Dupuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829396649299444557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831412.post-6375295199713285662007-01-24T12:46:00.000-05:002007-01-24T12:46:00.000-05:00It's good you're getting involved in the net neutr...It's good you're getting involved in the net neutrality debate.
