The Internet Society (ISOC) released a document on User Centric Internet.
The Internet today faces a range of challenges that could impact the distributed, end-to-end and open nature that users have come to take for granted. Some of these challenges are service and architecture related, including but not limited to the Network Neutrality debate in the United States, initiatives on Next Generation Networks, and the discussion in Europe and elsewhere over the future of access regulation (unbundling) and competition. Other challenges relate to the impact changes in Internet usage patterns and the explosion of content consumption and creation are having on Internet architecture and business models.
