Network Operations Optimization Priorities
• 90% problem cells fixed
• DCR improved by 30%
• RRC Estab. FR 25% better
• Coverage 10-20% better
• European Operator
electricity bill for cell sites:
€200m p.a.
• 30% of sites could be turned
down 30% of time
• Massive savings to realize
• Traffic grows by 90% p.a.
• Self Planning SON
• Capitalize on planning
know-how and software

What is Net Neutrality?
• Simple definition
• The principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data that
travels over their networks equally
• Key Issues
• Free speech / censorship
• Role of Government
• Competition / Anti-trust
• Legal
• Technology

Key Stakeholders• Last mile ISPs
• Cable companies – Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox, Charter, Verizon
• Wired telecom – AT&T, Verizon, Century Link, Frontier, Google
• Wireless carriers – Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, US Cellular
• Government
• FCC
• Courts
• Federal and State governments
• Information Content Providers
• Internet services – email, search, web-browsing, social networking

Balancing Free Market Principles
Network Value Economics
• Bigger is better for
consumers and for
businesses• Metcalfe’s Law
• More elements mean more
potential connections for
each user
• Sarnoff’s Law
• Value of a broadcast
network is proportional to
the number of viewers
Competition
• Law of the land
• Sherman Anti Trust
• Protection for Free Speech
• “Master Switch” argument
• Industrial structure, not
government, that most
impacts free speech
9
History / Framework
• 1860 – Telegraph “neutrality” – first in / first out (except government)
• 1934 – Communications Act of 1934, Federal Law, authorizes FCC
• Title I – General Provisions
• Title II – Common Carriers
• Title III – Provisions related to radio
• Title IV – Procedural and administrative provisions
• Title V – Penal provisions, forfeitures
• Title VI – Cable communications (added in 1984)
• Title VII – Miscellaneous provisions
• 1992 – Cable Consumer Protection and Competition
• Required cable to carry local broadcast and prohibited from charging
• 1996 – New Telecommunications Act (amended 1934)
• Section 706 empowers FCC to promote broadband competition
• Regulated unbundling of network elements
• 2008 – Comcast / FCC order restricting management of peer to peer traffic
• 2010 – Court vacates order, FCC issues Open Internet Order (transparency, anti-blocking, anti-
discriminating) for cable, DSL, fiber – citing Section 706 (promoting competition) as authority
• 2011 – Verizon successfully sues FCC over authority to regulate internet. Court upholds authority
of 706 with regards to net neutrality, but some regulations (anti-discrimination, anti-blocking) were
reserved for Title II

Net Neutrality
• Introduction
• What is Net Neutrality
• Key Stakeholders
• Balancing Free Market Principles
• History / Framework
• Network Technologies
• Last mile technologies deliver different user experiences
• Oversubscription of edge to core
• Middle mile
• Content Providers
• Public Engagement
• Rulemaking process

Last Mile Networks
Cable Wired telco Cellular
Cable and cellular users share a common transport reducing per user
bandwidth
12
Oversubscription
Cable Wired telco Cellular
Oversubscription uses routing prioritization during peak volume times
13
Middle Mile
Cable Wired telco Cellular
Core network transport impacts Quality of Service (QoS)

Where can a Internet Content Provider invest to
compete by improving the customer experience?

19
Public engagement in process
• February 19, 2014
• Chairman Wheeler issues a statement on Open Internet Rules
• Intent to propose new rules
• Explore use of Section 706
• Solicit public comment
• Enhance competition, keep Title II authority
• May 15, 2014
• FCC approves Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
• Should the FCC should bar paid prioritization completely?
• Should the FCC apply Open Internet rules to mobile broadband Internet
service, not just fixed broadband Internet?
• Should the FCC reclassify broadband Internet service as a
telecommunications service under Title II of the Telecommunications Act?
• July 15, 2014
• Public comment period extended until September 10th
8/5/14 FCC released a
bulk machine readable
archive of 1.1 million
comments received
during first comment
period
10/19/14 FCC released
an additional 2,444,672
comments received
during additional
comment period
Previous highest comments were
1.48M over Janet Jackson

Public Opinion
• Survey
• University of Delaware Center for Political Communication
(www.et.gy/DelCPC)
• Only 10% of the population were familiar with the issue
• Most of them get information from satirical shows
• Strong opposition to the concept of fast lanes
• Public Comment
• Sunlight Foundation analysis of first 800,000 (www.et.gy/sunlight-net)
• Less than 1% oppose Net Neutrality
• 60% form letters (less than typical)
• About 2/3rd were opposed to paid prioritization or speed tiers
• Roughly the same asked for Title II classification

Key Issue Summary
• Role of government• Strong Title II regulation vs. promoting competition through Section 706
• FCC considering at hybrid approach
• Free Speech• Explicit anti-discrimination law through Title II
• Monopolistic structures risk market led censorship
• Impact of tiered services
• Competition• Last mile
• Information Content Providers• This is where the disruptive innovators are
