Peering, Transit, and the Technical Reality of the Internet
The hosts explain the technical concepts of peering and transit, arguing that "paid priority" is a fundamental part of how the internet functions. They criticize Commissioner Clyburn for misrepresenting the 2004 Internet Policy Statement and the 2010 rules as enforceable laws. The DC Circuit Court's 2014 rejection of the FCC's legal framework is cited as the catalyst for the current debate.
