Ep. 54: The Internet Doesn't Need to Be Saved (with Peter Van Doren)
Channel: Libertarianism.org
Date: 2014-10-31

Peter Van Doren joins us this week for a discussion on net neutrality. What is net neutrality and why do people on the internet seem to get so upset about it?

How does the internet work? Will net neutrality rules cause the internet to be less innovative? Would a non-neutral internet create barriers to market entry? Should the internet be treated like a public utility? What would that look like, and would it work?
