For instance, they can prioritize telemedicine over regular data files. That?s when the network operators can turn the Web into their private fiefdom, awarding fast-track services to their corporate allies while shunting all others to a slow lane.

If a content provider wants to provide streaming video (for example) and if as a result of the providers' increased popularity throughput is throttled. Who should pay for the up-grade to the data-carrying pipe? (in order to relieve the congestion) Is it not fair to ask the provider for a usage based fee? If not will the US taxpayer foot the bill? I don't really care who pays the tab but someone has to step-up. Who is going to pay for bandwidth?

That's what's happened. Our legislators have allowed for the rise of broadband monopolies in this country, which has stifled consumer Internet choice at prices per bit that far exceed other developed nations. As a result we've seen a market failure in America -- where companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast not only control access for more than 98% of broadband customers, but also control the legislative process that governs this access. They're now trying to do it again with a bill (Stevens HR5252) that guts Net Neutrality and hands over control of Internet content to these predatory telco and cable monopolists. The international leaders in broadband penetration (countries like South Korea, Canada and France) have attained their status through policies that protect market diversity and preserve Net Neutrality. There's good legislation and bad. Stevens' bill is the latter. It was written by Verizon, AT&T and Comcast lobbyists to serve their narrow financial interests at the expense of everyone else.

The "further behind" language that Berners-Lee used made me think that his point was that if the US governs internet use in ways that are comparatively stone-age (compared to those of Europe), then Europe's business communities and information infrastructure will have a leg up on the US. I can see the US then losing ground to the EU in all sorts of business, tech, etc. due to our own legislation stifling our country's productivity and ability in these arenas.

Then in turn, move to other countries/regions, etc. Boilman,
