My most recent work on the subject of network neutrality is now available.
This new article, published in the Telecommunications Journal of Australia, contributes to the growing body of network neutrality literature by describing and commenting on recent developments in Canada. There have been and still are ongoing industry practices, regulatory policy proceedings, judicial decisions and pending litigation, and legislative proposals relevant to the issue of network neutrality in Canada. While most of the network neutrality literature has an economic focus, this paper dwells more on implications for Canadian culture. Though the dominant technological and economic discourses about issues like innovation and competition cannot be ignored, these are not the only paradigms with which to frame regulatory and other decision-making. Ultimately, this paper recommends a light-handed cultural policy response – one that clearly imposes neutrality obligations but does so in a principled rather than prescriptive manner.
Because I've granted the journal's publisher a 3-month window of exclusivity, you can't download the full paper yet. You can, however, access the article with a paid subscription to the
TJA via its website, or email me and I'll be happy to provide you with a copy.
