OII Tour 2011
Recording of the live virtual open day which was broadcast on 6th December 2011.
The design and implementation of privacy requirements in systems is a difficult problem and requires the translation of complex social, legal and ethical concerns into systems requirements. The concept of "privacy by design" has been proposed to serve as a guideline on how to address these concerns.
The US Federal Communications Commission's Network Neutrality Order regulates how broadband networks explain their services to customers, mandates that subscribers be permitted to deploy whatever computers, mobile devices, or applications they like for use with the network access service they purchase, and imposes a prohibition upon unreasonable discrimination in network management such that Internet Service Provider efforts to maintain service quality (e.g. mitigation congestion) or to price and package their services do not burden rival applications.
This paper offers a legal and economic critique of the new Network Neutrality policy and particularly the no blocking and no discrimination rules.
