At the PFF blog, Ray Gifford says "Ed Felten . . . has a very good technologist's primer on net neutrality and its difficulties." Felten's conclusion: Both sides are right to say that making the wrong decision can lead to unintended side-effects and hamper the Internet's development. There is a good policy argument in favor of doing nothing and letting the situation develop further. Ray adds: I think he is exactly right. Notably, he reaches his conclusions as a technologist, and does not really go into the public choice aspects or the economic aspects of net neutrality. I think both of these analytical lenses add further support to the "do nothing," or rather the "Let the FTC do it!" school of thought. Such agreement between Prof. Felten and PFF is rare enough so that the occasion should not go uncelebrated.
