Has Net Neutrality lost momentum in mobile networks? #4

Closed gwhiteCL closed 5 years ago

"and partly in Net Neutrality considerations. Of late, said consideration seems to have lost momentum"

It sounds like you're saying Net Neutrality is less important that it once was. Is this true?

Yeah, that doesn't read good.

The problem with multi-bearer setup is that, theoretically, it could be used to put a content provider of choice on a "fast track". In the past, in order to avoid any possible NN-related trouble with the regulator, MNOs have been sticking to the single, best-effort bearer configuration. Things have moved on and now there's a better understanding of what NN is a what is not, so there's less "fear" around that.

That said, I'm going to remove the NN part of the para.

Looks better. BTW, I added a sentence in the Abstract that was intended to hint at NN concerns without stating it outright.

"The PHB provides low latency and, when possible, low loss without prioritization and without rate policing, making it suitable for environments where the use of either these features may be restricted."

Excellent.
