"Net Neutrality" Will Kill the Teleconm Business

If you are the sort of person who enjoys deep thinking about the future of the telecom business, it always makes sense to listen to Martin Geddes. Here's a new presentation he's worked up. The formal topic was how to deal with over the top apps.

As has been the case recently, Martin's thinking about access as a trading space figure prominently into the analysis of what's wrong, and how to fix it. 

What I also found significant was Martin's thinking about what others might call value-based pricing. And that means "network neutrality," such as policies that forbid offering consumers class of service or quality of service mechanisms, will doom access providers to an unprofitable future.
