In this post, Professor Barbara van Schewick discusses the relationship between network neutrality, non-discrimination rules and Quality of Service from her recently published paper, “Network Neutrality and Quality of Service: What a Non-Discrimination Rule Should Look Like.”
Professor Barbara van Schewick examines the news that Verizon Wireless’ new Galaxy Nexus phone will not support Google Wallet. She discusses the impact of this action on Verizon customers, competition in the emerging mobile payment technologies, and innovation in mobile technologies. She also provides insight to her letter to the FCC asking the Commission to investigate this situation given that Verizon’s conduct undermines the Commission’s general approach towards mobile Internet openness.
