There has been a lot of talk about the state and the future of broadband Internet lately. Since I am looking into the design of ubiquitous systems for my research and the legal perspective, I looked at the concept of network neutrality and its possible impact on wireless network infrastructure design. This year, the US Congress will probably enact legislation about network neutrality that could change the way Internet is, and not just in the US. Because of that, there has been a lot of activity and discussion about what network neutrality should be and how it should be protected. But first, what is network neutrality? [ Network neutrality ] suggests that (1) to maximize human welfare, information networks ought be as neutral as possible between various uses or applications, and (2) if necessary, government ought to intervene to promote or preserve the neutrality of the network.

While this is not totally unusual, the fact that his university displays what he calls Deficient WiFi Awareness Sign is quite significant. It is much more usual to see signs that announces the availabilty of Wi-Fi rather than its non-existence or non-availability.
