Netzneutralität: Prinzipien für Netzwerk-Management
Ein weiterer Vorschlag zur Debatte rund um Netzneutralität in den USA kommt vom Center For Democracy and Technology (CDT). Sie fordern “Principles for Network Management“:
In its comments to the FCC, CDT suggested several principles that should guide network operators and policymakers as they consider questions relating to network management:
* First, network management practices should be transparent. Transparency can provide an important safeguard, enabling consumers and consumer advocates to push back against practices that could negatively affect competition or impair the usability of particular applications. Network operators should disclose sufficient information to provide a basis for comparison; a heavy BitTorrent user, for example, might be very interested to know if one broadband provider in the local area degrades BitTorrent traffic to control congestion while the other does not. Transparency also can encourage developers of services and applications to shape their products’ bandwidth usage patterns in ways that take account of legitimate network congestion considerations by, for example, designing an application to stay below the congestion levels enforced by an ISP.
