What "Web management" could be?

So, what should we tell a company which sells thousands of 1 Gbps connections when a country has only something like... 20 Gbps connections to the whole world? Is this management correct?

U.S. Internet firms defend tighter Web management | Technology | Internet | Reuters

Internet service providers like AT&T Inc are making greater efforts to manage traffic on their networks as they seek ways to avoid congestion caused by bandwidth-hogging services like video, industry officials said on Thursday.

(...)

President Barack Obama strongly backed net neutrality during the campaign and as a senator. Observers are monitoring how he will change policy.

T-Mobile may use up to 10 gigabits a month, or possibly be downgraded to a speed that is roughly equivalent to the first generation of Apple Inc's iPhone.

To avoid crashing the network, "you have to have reasonable management," Sugrue said.

Capacity Development: How the IGF empowered people from developing countries

What a beginning!

Well, I'm oftenly not asked to write on what I read. Considering I read something like 3-4 thousand news/day, maybe people wouldn't feel like to listen what I would have to say. But let me try to make a little game with it:

One would say we would need a new Internet. I would agree if we could have reached consensus on what this "version" has already done for us, or that we have already reached and used all of its full potential. Don't we need a new Internet the same way we need new cars? In Brazil, for example, airbags are not considered mandatory safety devices for all vehicles. Just like some people said, sometimes we need to look back to the future and keep mechanisms that work working (sic).

Of course, Internet itself is not the same it was a couple of decades ago (as if it was considered "some thing" by that time). These last days have been really showing Internet becoming closer and closer to ourselves (in a whole mankind sense). Back to top, reinventing the Internet means not only rewriting TCP/IP (or its eventual successor), but redefining how good and/or bad mankind can be and which tools we ourselves would like to provide to the future. I am not sure if one could consider himself empowered enough to do such thing...

Maybe by the time we reach the next billionS (and I believe it will take some time... not only me, actually), or whenever we find a new appropriate usage for our not-that-new tools, we'll have a real chance to make things happen. Or is all this bottom-up process which made Internet becomes what it is [becoming] making us afraid of our own potential?

Bloggin'

Well, it was about time. I might have something to talk about Internet governance and policies, so this could be a start.

Welcome aboard!

More about me

I am Everton Teles Rodrigues, a Brazilian journalist interested in Internet-related public policies.

Doing

I am currently working at Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br) as Communications Assistant (unnecessary to say that everything I write here has/should have nothing to do with my professional activities). Since 2006, I have already:

• coordinated media contact between NIC.br and press;
• published print and electronic materials (check out our early-conducted Survey on the Use of Information and Communication Technologies);
• given support to LACNIC, IGF and ICANN Meetings;
• studied Internet governance and related public policies in developing countries (which, I hope, will bring me a Master degree soon).

Done

Among other activities, I have had the excellent opportunity to work with M. Luc Quoniam and M. Pierre Fayard (and all their valuable team) at the French-Brazilian Technical and Scientific Documentation Centre at 2004-2005. I will always be grateful for their support and teachings.

Other

My special thanks to Mariana Balboni, to whom I gave technical support while she was completing her doctorate thesis; to Carol D'Avo, Reinaldo Ferraz and Juliano Cappi, for their eternal sense of humour. I wouldn’t have written a single line in this blog if they haven't hired and supported me .
