This is the 7-14 November 2014 edition of a "weekly digest of W3C news and trends" that I prepare for the W3C Membership and public-w3c-digest mailing list (publicly archived).

We should ask ourselves though if government intervention on the part of net neutrality may not lead to another regulatory nightmare. After all, there ARE costs involved in running the Internet. Someone HAS to pay for the backbones and somehow those with a higher load should eventually pay for a higher share of using the "road". Somehow the discussion is framed in "keep the high seas free for all" while it should be more about toll roads - the high seas were there before ... ah ... Al Gore invented them ...
