A completely different take on network neutrality

The Net Neutrality PR war is heating up again as Congress considers whether it should preserve the this "dumb pipe" foundation of the Internet or allow it to be swept away by a more carrier-lucrative "intelligent design" business model.

So who will win this war? Former Forrester colleague Paul Callahan has a completely contrarian and common sense answer at his site: Cisco and other network vendors who make prioritizing gear that carriers will buy but never use. And if you would rather hear Paul make the argument in sonorous MP3 tones, listen to his MP3 audio file instead. Both have great ideas and contain good advice. Too bad Congress likely won't pay attention to either of them.
