After Net Neutrality
A provocative analysis of net neutrality and a call to democratize online communication This short book is both a primer that explains the history and politics of net neutrality and an argument for a more equitable framework for regulating access to the internet. Pickard and Berman argue that we should not see internet service as a commodity but as a public good necessary for sustaining democratic society in the twenty-first century. They aim to reframe the threat to net neutrality as more than a conflict between digital leviathans like Google and internet service providers like Comcast but as part of a much wider project to commercialize the public sphere and undermine the free speech essential for democracy. Readers will come away with a better understanding of the key concepts underpinning the net neutrality battle and rallying points for future action to democratize online communication.

Network neutrality : from policy to law to regulation
\"Net neutrality is the most contested Internet access policy of our time. This book offers an in-depth explanation of the concept, addressing its history since 1999, its engineering, the policy challenges it represents and its legislation and regulation. Various case studies are presented, including Specialized Services and Content Delivery Networks for video over the Internet, and the book goes on to examine the future of net neutrality battles in Europe, the United States, and developing countries, as well as offering co-regulatory solutions based on FRAND and non-exclusivity\"--Publisher's website.

Regolazione e governance del mondo digitale
La \"biblioteca di Babele sognata da un grande visionario come Jorge L. Borges prometteva \"l'infinito\". A trent'anni dall'invenzione del \"web\" (1989) il sogno si è tradotto \"nell'infinito\" del mondo della rete. La \"Babele\" intravista da Borges è piuttosto oggi data dalla pluralità di \"modelli\" di regolazione e governance della rete. Modelli diversi per gli effetti che producono sui diritti e sugli interessi economici coinvolti (dalla concorrenza, alla privacy, alla libertà di espressione). Il dibattito sulla digital governance del world wide web (emblematicamente sorto alla fine di un millennio e all'inizio del nuovo), che ha modificato il modo di vivere, relazionarsi e anche di pensare dell'umanità molto più di ogni altro processo tecnologico del passato, sollecita domande centrali. Domande che richiedono percorsi di analisi istituzionali e regolatori che in questo studio vengono criticamente valutati nella fase attuale in cui si trovano e nelle prospettive che si delineano.

Net neutrality : seeking a free and fair internet
\"In early 2018, the Federal Communications Commission issued a repeal of net neutrality rules, which mandated equal access to web content regardless of the provider, user, or platform. While many telecommunications companies expressed jubilation and pockets of the internet expressed outrage, many were left scratching their heads and wondering why net neutrality matters at all. this book answers that question, offering readers a collection of articles on the history and importance of net neutrality. Coverage includes the earliest debates over internet regulation, the enactment of a net neutrality policy under Obama, court decisions on its enforcement, and its 2018 repeal.\"--Amazon.com.

Open Internet for All
Internet network neutrality is one of the most contested issues in communications law today. Those in opposition maintain that the rights of network owners are at stake. Supporters argue that the Internet's open architecture is at risk as are the rights of Internet users to freely publish and access information. Despite this connection to free speech, up to this point there has been little discussion about the First Amendment implications of network neutrality. Using the idea of a right of access to the media, Bagwell uncovers legal precedent that would give First Amendment support to network neutrality rules.

The illusion of net neutrality : political alarmism, regulatory creep, and the real threat to Internet freedom
In this riveting treatise, coauthors Bob Zelnick and Eva Zelnick sound the alarm on the debilitating effect that looming regulations, rules, and powerful interests would have on today's regulation-free Internet. The authors lay out the imminent threats—from \"network neutrality\" to FCC regulations—that would rob this global, society-changing, communication powerhouse forever of its full potential.

Uncommon carriage
As states have begun regulating the carriage of speech by \"Big Tech\" internet platforms, scholars, advocates, and policymakers have increasingly focused their attention on the law of common carriage. Legislators have invoked common carriage to defend social media regulations against First Amendment challenges, making arguments set to take center stage in the Supreme Court's impending consideration of the 'NetChoice' saga. This article challenges the coherence of common carriage as a field and its utility for assessing the constitutionality and policy wisdom of internet regulation. Evaluating the post-Civil War history of common carriage regimes in telecommunications law, this article illustrates that conceptions of common carriage and its treatment by the courts vary significantly and are contingent on specific historical and technological circumstances. The article observes that common carriage is an attractive nuisance for policymakers and judges. The doctrine distracts from difficult normative questions about the permissibility of government interventions into speech and the editorial discretion of internet platforms. The article disentangles talismanic invocations of \"common carriage\" by isolating three distinct issues: (1) the classification of \"common carriers\"; (2) the imposition of \"common carriage\" rules on those carriers; and (3) the First Amendment problems that flow from the imposition. Applying this novel three-part framework, this article argues for a context-sensitive approach to internet regulations. This approach evaluates the designation of carriers, the imposition of rules, and the role of the First Amendment at a granular level to more robustly account for the complexity of contemporary internet platforms.
