> Beyond Neutrality - enabling a world of connected things
> Bob Frankston
> 
> Network Neutrality and related policy issues are framed by the
> assumption that intelligence is inside a network and
> (tele)communications is a service. Today that intelligence is now in our
> devices which can communicate by exchanging packets using any means
> available. This shift in intelligence has also moved value creation
> outside of networks.
> 
> In this talk I'll trace the history of this fundamental transformation
> and the technical and policy implications and what it means to
> "communicate". This shift has opened up new opportunities for how to
> cooperate in creating a 21st century infrastructure. By paying for the
> infrastructure as a common facility we will not be limited to messages
> that profit intermediaries be they telecom providers or chip makers.
