Net neutrality talk
Professor Shubho Bandyopadhyay will be discussing his research on net neutrality. Using game theory models, he counter-intuitively found that broadband providers would be more likely to improve Internet service if they were barred from charging for preferential treatment.
His talk will be at 6:30pm on Monday, April 2nd in the Reitz Union room 121 (Johnson Lounge). For more information about the research, see the story from UF’s news site. For more on net neutrality, see SaveTheInternet.com.
