The D.C. Circuit’s decision in Verizon v. FCC represents a milestone in the network neutrality debate that has dominated Internet policy for the past decade. In this talk, Professor Christopher Yoo of the University of Pennsylvania will discuss the implications of the court’s decision, the FCC’s efforts to revamp network neutrality in light of the court’s reasoning, and market developments since the court’s decision, such as the interconnection agreement between Netflix and Comcast and Comcast’s proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable.
