OPEN ARCHITECTURE AS COMMUNICATIONS POLICY

---

The papers in this volume are collected from speakers at a forum held on Capitol Hill entitled Broadband Technology Forum: The Future Of The Internet In The Broadband Age.1 All of the speakers are active in the public policy debates, regulatory proceedings and court cases that have been defining the contours of the next generation of the Internet. The purpose of the forum was to engage staffers from Congressional offices and federal agencies in a dialogue over the importance of preserving the vibrant nature of the Internet. With that purpose in mind, this volume blends new papers and comments with several that are half a decade old (ancient by Internet standards). Taken together they seek to provide a comprehensive basis for understanding the interaction of technology and public policy in the development of the Internet. Written at different times and for different purposes over the past five years, the papers are powerful testimony to the proposition that open architecture is critical to the success of the Internet. The end-to-end principle of the Internet and the open communications networks in which it was incubated are critical building blocks of a dynamic, innovative information economy.
