Network Non-Discrimination and Quality of Service

A new paper, titled Network Neutrality and Quality of Service: What a Non-Discrimination Rule Should Look Like, discusses the relationship between network neutrality, non-discrimination rules and Quality of Service in more detail.

The paper:

• Provides the first detailed analysis of the Federal Communications Commissions’ non-discrimination rule and of its implications for network providers’ ability to manage their networks and offer Quality of Service;
• Offers the first in-depth analysis of the relationship between network neutrality and Quality of Service; and
• Proposes a non-discrimination rule that policy makers should adopt around the world – a rule that the FCC adopted at least in part.

This blog post summarizes the paper’s most important findings.
