Keeping Internet Transparency Clear
February 19, 2009
Lauren Weinstein of Vortex Technology, http://www.vortex.com/, just announced at http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000506.html a set of forums he is hosting at http://forums.gctip.org/ called GCTIP–the Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance. It’s meant to address Internet transparency, performance and ISP Issues. The project grew out of a network measurement workshop sponsored by “Father of the Internet” Vint Cerf and Google, for which Weinstein assisted in organizing the agenda. Weinstein’s point: It’s impossible to know if we’re getting enough bang for our buck using the Internet unless we have hard facts, so set up measurement tests. My point: Not only is this already being done, but how would you ever get definitive results, and how will an info dump help? Am I oversimplifying? Comments?
