Description
On May 6-7, 2010, the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Technology, Innovation and Competition hosted the conference, "Rough Consensus and Running Code: Integrating Engineering Principles into the Internet Policy Debates." (1) This conference brought together members of the engineering community, regulators, legal academics, and industry participants in an attempt to provide policymakers with a better understanding of the Internet's technical aspects and how they influence emerging issues of broadband policy. At various points during the recent debates over broadband policy, observers both inside and the outside the government have acknowledged that the debate has yet to reflect a full appreciation of the engineering principles underlying the Internet and the technological opportunities and challenges posed by the existing architecture. The level of discourse is reminiscent of the days when economic arguments first began to be advanced in during regulatory proceedings, when participants in policy debates lacked a sufficient vocabulary and an understanding of the underlying intuitions to engage in a meaningful discourse about the relevant insights.
