This past week was declared Open Internet Week by a coalition of citizens, public interest groups, tech companies, academics and activists, highlighted by the introduction of the “Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2008” (HR 5353). On this edition of the program we hear excerpts from two nationwide press conference calls outlining why and how Network Neutrality will be pushed to the top of the regulatory and legislative agenda this year. We also hear BitTorrent’s Eric Klinker explain how the technology the company is developing to better manage the traffic created by its commercial applications will also be extended to its open source protocol.
