How should Net Neutrality affect the mobile Internet?

September 22nd, 2009

The Big Deal yesterday was the FCC's announcement of two additional proposals to its enforcement of Net Neutrality: non-discrimination (ISPs can't play favorites when it comes to network traffic), and transparent management (ISPs should be upfront with their network management practices, like blocking BitTorrent during peak hours). That's all well and good—I don't think you'll find anyone across the Crunch Network who doesn't support Net Neutrality—but this is thought to apply to “traditional” ISPs: Comcast, Time Warner, etc. The question becomes, then,how should Net Neutrality affect the wireless Internet? Should AT&T be subjected to the same regulations that Time Warner is vis-à-vis the iPhone? What about Sprint and the Palm Pre (and Pixi!)?
