BitTorrent CEO Prepares for the No Net Neutrality Future - Power to the People!

 
BitTorrent CEO, Eric Klinker, seems to be facing the fact that Net Neutrality is not going to happen. Instead, he is certain that public demand will force carriers to avoid discrimination. COMPUTERWORLD brings the story (here), from  eComm 2010 Conference.

Some quotes: "Instead, it is the public that will pass judgment on how service and application providers behave .. The public is our regulator ... he isn't afraid of carriers creating "walled gardens" of selected content turn the Internet into the equivalent of cable TV. They also would have a hard time selling network management programs based on "discrimination"

"Most people basically want net neutrality, so it would be hard for carriers to justify network management measures that are seen as discriminatory".

Well .. most people want to get everything for free ..
