“Glenn Fleishman”:1 sent me a note that Grand Rapids, MI has required that Network Neutrality be a part of their municipal wireless network:
2.2.1 Open Service Provider Network
* Fair and Equal Access: The network shall be open to multiple Service Providers (SPs) and Content Providers (CPs) on a fair and equal basis to deliver services and content to end users (subscribers) on a retail basis.
* Wholesale Access: SPs and CPs may acquire wholesale bandwidth or peering access to the network to support innovative content or applications.
* No Blocking: The network shall not exclude access to any Internet content or block any network ports, except when required to deal with network security incidents.
This is how all networks should be operated, and are requirements for all municipal networks.
