Abstract

This paper discusses about the open Internet order. This order mandates a regulatory action that differs little from present practice at broadband firms. The order has little impact because most broadband firms-even the dominant ones-are transparent today. A broadband firm with retail market power would have incentive to put any content firm at a disadvantage when that content firm's activities competed with services it offered. Voice and video entertainment are, for example, services offered over broadband channels, and most sensible observers expect the lat ter category of services to grow over time. These would be natural targets for blocking and discriminatory routing.
