I thought Prof. Farber’s reticence towards government regulation was very interesting. We are accustomed to thinking of regulation as a positive force designed to protect the interests of consumers and to promote fair competition. Yet Prof. Farber strongly believes that excessive government intervention will impede the growth and development of technology.

Another interesting comment by Prof. Farber was his statement that in the cable industry, carriers often pay for content. This opens up the possibility that major internet companies could “turn the tables” on ISPs: Rather than paying ISPs to deliver their content, as some ISPs have been demanding, internet companies could instead charge ISPs for the right to carry their content.

Both speakers offer pros and cons for both the further regulation and de-regulation of the state of the internet. Farber and Cerf both have had milestone careers in the creation and advancement of the internet. Vint Cerf offers a convincing argument to keep the internet open, however, one must question if he has any special interest in the net neutrality debate considering he is the vice president for google.
