Neil Barratt and moi, in The Canadian Journal of Communication 32(2):
Abstract: What is net neutrality? The debate about the shape of the Internet is being held behind closed doors, led by government and industry with little public input. This article examines net neutrality and the stakeholders in this emerging national debate. The authors discuss the legislative and policy implications, while at the same time exploring alternative models for achieving broadly accessible, affordable high-speed Internet access.
