Yochai Benkler’s 3 layers

what issues

physical layer>>>>>who own’s the pipes
code layer >>>>>> open standards
content layer >>>> who own’s the media

Question posed to mark:
Should you continue fighting network neutrality on the political level or focus on technical innovation and loop round it?

and another Question posed to mark:
You have been focusing on censorship but what about the digital divide? if we have a two tiered internet what is going happen to people unnable to afford an internet connection?

I should let you know that for the first minute, Mark’s voice gets a little strangled by a lower quality Skype connection, but it soon improves:)
