The discussion avoided the rancor that has often been seen in the network neutrality debates.  In fact the term hardly was used at all.  The tone of the room was that network operators have the right, if not the obligation, to manage the traffic on their networks, but the way Comcast went about it was all wrong - from forging packets to lying about it.

I put a longer description, including a photo of David Reed holding up a "packet" and of Kevin Martin listening intently to Bob Frankston at

I won't attempt to do a full debrief - I'm sure that many others are doing
that. What surprised me is that it was more than a stage show. I there was
more focus on Comcast's practice of looking inside packets than I'd expected
since the topic was very general.
