Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Rorie sent me his abstract for his talk yesterday, but i totally
forgot to send it last night my apologise. <br>
<br>
The meeting will be held in the HMC at the top of the student Union
building.<br>
<br>
The meeting starts at 7pm (#), but i'm sure if you turn up at 6.30
they'll be geeks about for a quick pre-talk drink in the bar below.<br>
<br>
Abstract<br>
<br>
Network Neutrality
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Internet neutrality
is
a concept that has been cast around the media for roughly five
years,
though in truth the debate has gone on since the beginning of the
21<sup>st</sup> century. The concept of net neutrality is that
traffic on the Internet should never been prioritized for or
against,
between people paying for the same Internet provider package.
There
have been several incidents where service providers have purposely
slowed P2P traffic. In other cases service providers have been
using
a technique known as deep-packet inspection to discriminate
against
demanding traffic such as P2P, FTP and on-line games. </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Should network
neutrality be legally enforced? Large corporations who are against
network neutrality argue that an enforcement would reduce
innovation
on the Internet, and offer them no incentive to improve there
network. If the government were to enforce network neutrality,
could
they do it fairly or effectively? Will they take a stand for
peoples
liberty or back a Corporate monopoly? Neutrality on the Internet
been
debated for years, and is still a hot topic.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">End of Abstract<br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I'm not going to be
able to make this meeting but Nick Walker will be looking after
the show for the day. I hope everyone has a good time and i'll
speak to you all soon</p>
