Nick Carr comments on the Stanford Clean Slate Design for the Internet Program, citing Technology Review to the effect that:
The interdisciplinary program seems to take the end of "net neutrality" as a given. Its thrust, in fact, is to make the Internet less Internety (at least as we've come to define the term) by redesigning it to be "inherently secure," by making it possible to "determine the value of a packet ... to better allocate the resources of the network, providing high-value traffic with higher bandwidth, more reliability, or lower latency paths," and by "support[ing] anonymity where prudent, and accountability where necessary." He concludes: "Maybe it will be the geeks rather than the suits who end up killing net neutrality."
