The Future of the Internet

Here's a little of what Vint Cerf had to say at Google's Washington office in an ongoing talk about Net Nutrality and the Future of the Internet.

The Internet is intended to be an open system, allowing anyone who wanted acceess to get to it. It is important that it stay that wat because the economic success has allowed new experiments "without permission."

 

That openness has made it an interesting environment, despite potential for abuse.

Here are 3 ways that Cerf thinks we can fight back against abuse on and of the internet

A) Technical - doesn't always work.
B) Detect and Respond - difficult to trace source, but next natural step.
C) Education - like gravity...en mass very powerful.

Because of the international nature of the Internet, Cerf believes that rules and regulations need to be agreed upon at an international level, perhaps even by way of treaty.
