If the internet has such a large influence on the economy, has illegal downloading of movies/music had an effect on the current struggling economy? Source: Taking Sides, pg. 53
Would services like Skype/Youtube have come about if there were more restrictions on the internet? Will a "free market" internet truely lead to more advances? Taking Sides, pg. 60 If Congress enacted a network neutrality mandate, what other regulations would come after that? i.e. would there be a slippery slope effect leading to more legislation? Taking Sides, pg. 63 |

1. Lessig says that access-tiering would be like auctioning off quality to the highest bidder. Isn't this a little like the debate asking whether or not knowledge/discoveries can be "owned" by a private company or the public? Source: Easton, Thomas, A. Taking Sides. Pg. 51, 52
2. Can a neutral internet stop illegal things? like downloading and viruses. Source: Easton, Thomas, A. Taking Sides. Pg. 54, 56,62 3. Would the neutral internet help the free market? Source: Easton, Thomas, A. Taking Sides. Pg. 54, 55, 56, 66 |

1. Lawerence Lessig states that Internet service providers have no right to block legal content or give preference to certain content providers. However, if the provided content renders the service unusable, should the Internet service provider still be required to allow access to it? For example, if a particular website provides a program that, while legal, slows down the ISP servers so much that the customer cannot continue browsing, should the ISP still allow it? Source: Easton, Thomas, A. Taking Sides. Pgs. 53-54, 55
2. Kyle Dixon says the Internet is like an ecosystem, in that it is constantly growing, changing, and is interdependent. If this is the case, would posing limitations on what Internet content is available to end-users not limit the ways in which this digital “ecosystem” survives? Source: Easton, Thomas A. Taking Sides. Pgs. 59, 60-61, 62 3. Kyle Dixon says that having a network neutrality mandate would lead to more regulations. Would any of these potential regulations inhibit consumers from receiving all the information available on the Internet? Source: Easton, Thomas A. Taking Sides. Pgs. 63, 64, 65 |
