it shows that there is no clear definition of what is "fair compensation" and what is not in affiliate-network relation. It largely depends on how you look at it. That is because they are co-dependent and have rather aligned interests.

This shows that pricing is really a function of bargaining power even to the extent that payer and payee roles could switch in different power relations. And consolidation of cable operator on one hand and TV/cable networks on the other shows industries' pursuit for the bargaining power. This is, seen in a different way, a battle to create bottleneck in increasingly complex and multi-path network world to charge other players to pass through a point /area in a network.

service-subsidized devices already exist - examples include iPod and SONY PS3. And he is right about the mobile phone handset pricing - except that, in Japan, that kind of pricing was recently discouraged. We already see 1 cent or free netbooks that come with multi-year ISP contract at least in Japan. We also see, in the US, DSL modems given away with multi-year service contracts.

"Reasonable" network management is indeed a potential loophole. But I am not sure if closing it is a good idea. Showing a guideline is a good idea, which would narrow, not close, the hole.

Perhaps non-discrimination and disclosure are to be added. Disclosure is a good idea I think.

Wireless market is characterized by dynamic competition in terms of technology but it seems that there is not much dynamic competition in terms of companies.

With the deployment of WiMax ongoing and LTE coming, I think it is not a bad idea to start discussing the net neutrality regulation, rather than leaving it in uncertainty.
