Don't stop the Internet's evolution with regulation
Net neutrality proponents need to beware of having an overly simplistic and static view of the end-to-end principle of Internet architecture that ignores the complexity, dynamism and ongoing evolution of the Internet model.
-
"The IP model is not this static thing," explains Dave Thaler, a member of the Internet Architecture Board and a software architect for Microsoft. "It's something that has changed over the years, and it continues to change."
-
This is a quote from an excellent piece in Network World, by Carolyn Duffy Marsan entitled; "Twelve myths about how the Internet works" about Dave Thaler's "Evolution of the IP model" working paper for the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Don't miss reading this straightforward Network World summary article, because its humbling to be reminded how incredibly complex, dynamic, and ever-changing the architecture of the Internet truly is -- and also how easy it would be for well-intentioned regulators or legislators to kill the golden goose of the Internet -- the Internet's ability to adapt and change.
Bottom line:
Ironically net neutrality has become a movement that stands in the way of change, that would stop the natural evolution of the Internet, and that would freeze thirty-year-old engineering design into law or regulation permanently.
Before the FCC or Congress takes any step towards codifying any aspect of net neutrality, it would benefit everyone if there was a better baseline understanding of "The Evolution of the IP Model" over time and how legislation or regulation could block, degrade or impair the natural evolution, innovation, and change needed to keep the Internet current and dynamic.
The reality is that the Internet constantly changes and needs to be free to change to keep up with the times. Its not hard to imagine how many different ways legislating or regulating net neutrality could stop natural needed change, and freeze the Internet in the past.
There is enough broken in the world economy that truly needs fixing, without wasting time and resources on trying to fix what is not broken.
- Do no harm.

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to wow power leveling ? Why do they learn their own language and other languages, arithmetic, geography, geometry, history, science and all the other subjects? And are these things all that they learn at
wow power leveling ?
We send our children to wow power leveling to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to benefit from what people in other countries have written and said, and to make the other countries people understand what they themselves mean. They learn arithmetic to be able to measure and count things in their daily life, geography in order to know something about the world around them, and history to know something about human beings they meet every day. Nearly everything they study at wow power leveling has some practical use in their life, but is that the only reason why they go to wow power leveling? No .there is more in education than just learning facts. We go to wow power leveling to learn how to learn, so that, when we have left wow power leveling, we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful. The purpose of wow power levelings, therefore, is not just to teach languages, arithmetic, geography, etc, but teach pupils the way to learn.
