I remember in the early 1990's, IETF leadership burning lots of time flying to Washington, to explain the importance of common carriage and network neutrality for the infant Internet. It wasn't clear it would be allowed to survive. The telcos wanted it dead. Monopoly ITT crippled it throughout the Caribbean. But it flourished. And even when neutrality wasn't law, it hovered as a threat - don't get too sociopathic, or there will be crackdown. And here we are, a human generation later. Still fighting the telcos, and still struggling to educate an ignorant Washington. Let me make a prediction for the next quarter century, and for 2040... we continue.
