That begins at transparency• Realistic 3G & LTE speeds
– Who told DSL Prime about 50Mb/s LTEin 1000 German villages by end-

time?•
Not ‘up to’ lab-tested maximum!• NOT blocking Skype• Building High Definition VOIP fast
lanes

Private Internet Censorship• This is shorthand for what ISPs have
to do• ISPs are not evil – they’re capitalists• Regulators are meant to regulate
capitalism• Innovation does not take place at ISP
layer• Do they innovate more than
Skype/Google/ Facebook?• If so, why do voice phone calls still
