What does Network Neutrality mean for New Zealand’s $2B UltraFast Broadband investment. #savetheinternet
Collaborative notes for the Slowing the fast lane session

It’s not that Net Neutrality is boring, it’s that talking about it is boring because it can be complex and vague. Net Neutrality is a controversial issue in the US, Europe, and India, but rarely discussed in New Zealand.

Net Neutrality impacts so many disparate areas of our technological and day-to-day lives – this is personal. Ending Net Neutrality will allow big companies to buy their way into the fast lane, leaving everybody else in the slow lane. The Internet is nationally important infrastructure, so it should be protected. Let’s have NZ join the global debate starting here!

Safety and security in SMEs

1:50pm – 2:50pm

Facilitators: Barry Brailey, Martin Cocker.

Collaborative notes for the Safety and security in SMEs session

Security and safety issues are always topical in relation to the Internet. We often hear a lot about what that means for individuals or big businesses (large enterprises), but what does it mean for small and medium sized businesses? What does it mean for you local dairy owner or your favourite cafe? What does it mean for the business down the road that employees 80 people?

In this session we would like to discuss some of this and perhaps tease out some better understanding of the situation – come prepared to discuss as we don’t have the answers!

An open and uncaptured web: is there an app for that?
Collaborative notes for the Is there an app for that session

Apps are becoming an increasing feature of the web and there are implications to that in terms of the web, if not the net, remaining open and uncapturable. You could argue that the net doesn’t have a problem in everyones app has equal access but, equally you could argue that ‘walled-gardens” are inherently captured. Sometimes you can get a better experience; sometimes a more accessible one but would a truly open web require that services are available through a browser on whatever device you prefer rather than the app that is developed, perhaps with reduced or increased functionality for your device. If we all used HTML then having only one set of code to maintain would be an advantage.

Featuring Neil Jarvis and Dave Lane.
