Hi,
Patricio comment was more complete than that.
Net neutrality is about fast/slow Lane. WP0 is about a free Lane. Bis argument was pretty
sensible.
I'm not sure why we should fear a free Lane. The worst it does is providing free
access, not a better QOS or a filtered/unfiltered access to the Internet.
N'est,
Christophe

According to the press Patricio Lorente, member

"Access to information is a basic human right. If net neutrality is hurting a human
right, we have to rethink net neutrality."
Haven't heard such a single-sided, unbalanced and self-righteous statment for a
while.
So, people standing for net neutrality are now became enemies of basic human rights in
the understanding of the foundation. - Well, if this low level of discussion is reached, I
guess it doesn't make sense to discuss the subject with the foundation at all.
Last I checked, "self-righteous" could be used to describe the advocacy of a
one-size-fits-all solution implemented in an absolutist fashion without regard to the
rights and interests of those who would be most affected by it, i.e. the owners of private
property.
You like "net neutrality"? Go buy your Internet access from a company that
promises to adhere to those principles. Or better yet, raise some money and start your
own infra and ISP business. Don't force others to play by your rules - that would be
self-righteous.
