Portfolio Assignment 1
I’m
searching the information about internet and web technologies for my week 2
portfolio assignment on Google. Some information are awesome but they can’t
pursuit me all the time to reads them.
But, the ones website of internet society organization is very
interesting to me, I can’t stop reading them.
Why download
and read the report? Well, have you ever wondered about the
future of the Internet, based on the economic impacts of usage
based pricing and data caps? Questioned whether open Internet
is applicable to the mobile application world? Tried to puzzle
through the implications of delivering local video services over the same
IP infrastructure as over the top Internet video
services? Wanted to help a parent puzzle through the merits of
different Internet access providers? If you answered yes to any
of these or similar questions, you will be interested to read the
Committee's reflections, captured in this report.
The report is weighty -- 98pp if you kill
trees to print it. The OIAC was established as part of the US FCC Open Internet activity
and Open Internet Report and Order from 2010. The FCC appointed expert committee members from a broad
range of commercial, academic, and not-for-profit
organizations. Four focus areas were identified early in the
year and working groups were set up to tackle specific topics, each
contributing to the annual report:
·
Economic Impacts of
Open Internet Frameworks
·
Mobile Ecosystem
·
Specialized Services
·
Transparency
On the whole, having been part of the sausage-making, I do have
to recommend it as a useful piece in articulating many aspects of
the issues that are being discussed the world over in terms of
how regulators might think about handling access networks in the light
of keeping the Internet open. Clearly, there are aspects of this that
are capitalist-oriented, if not strictly US-centric. Nevertheless,
there are no magic answers! This is a report *to* the US government,
to inform its thinking on future possibilities. Other parts of the
world have a very different approach to building out and ensuring high
quality Internet access networks.
