On October 9th, I had the pleasure of participating
in a session
with former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps at the 2014 Akamai Edge Conference
in Miami, Florida, to discuss the hot topic of net neutrality and the FCC’s
Open Internet proceeding. Many thanks to Akamai for inviting me to speak at the
conference. And thanks too to Michael Copps for engaging in what, by all
accounts, was an informative and lively program. Akamai’s innovative products
and services have played a significant positive role in fostering the steady
growth of the Internet ecosystem across the globe – and the conference’s
sessions offered many opportunities to glimpse the prospects for continued
exciting advancements.

In light of the FCC’s consideration of proposals to adopt new net neutrality
regulations, the subject obviously is very timely.
