A Case for Non-Net-Neutrality

boyko.at.netqos writes "Network Performance Daily has an in-depth interview with Professor Christopher Yoo from Vanderbilt University Law School on his opposition to Net-Neutrality policies. While some might disagree with his opinions, he lays out the case for non-neutrality in an informed and informative manner. From the interview: 'Akamai is able to provide service with lower latency and higher quality service, because they distribute the content. This provides greater protection against DoS attacks. It's a local storage solution instead of creating additional bandwidth, and it's a really interesting solution. Here's the rub ... Akamai is a commercial service and is only available to people who are willing to pay for it. If CNN.com pays for it, and MSNBC.com does not, CNN.com will get better service.'"

You didn't get net neutrality because...

You didn't pay for it. You didn't do the R&D. You spent 40 years promoting Minitel, calling the internet a waste of cold-war defense spending. Now finally, you're complaining about being left out of the internet.

I know, Mrs. Lincoln, but what I'm trying to get at is, other than that, didn't you basically enjoy the play?

Apparently the school has a special department for people like them.
From TFA (emphasis mine):

However, neither is helping the notion that the Yoo family produces a lot of morally corrupt professors.

Would this department perhaps be in some towers?
