Network neutrality has been topic of discussion for the past 25 years, with current legislation/ regulation in the United States and Europe targeting the ISPs or “common carriers.” But the reality of the Internet in the 2010s is that various actors contribute to the delivery of data, with sometimes contradictory objectives. In this article, we highlight the fact that neutrality principles can be bypassed in many ways without violating the rules currently evoked in the debate; for example, via…

Impact of Heterogeneous Neutrality Rules with Competitive Content Providers
- Economics2021 IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM)
- 2021
The results show that neutrality repeal may only favor the ISP in the differentiation-authorized zone, but no other actor, and that it can be worse off for everybody if the regulation procedures are very strict in the neutral area.
Non-neutrality with Users Deciding Differentiation: A Satisfying Option?
- Computer ScienceMASCOTS
- 2020
It is illustrated that, depending on network parameters, letting end users decide may end up as a fair and viable solution, and that non-neutrality imposed by ISPs is not necessarily bad for all actors.

Analysis of a number of European mobile broadband operators in terms of neutrality shows that, despite EU regulations, some operators are not neutral, thus, highlighting the need for a monitoring system.
The Economics of CDNs and Their Impact on Service Fairness
- Computer ScienceIEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management
- 2017
A mathematical model is presented and it is shown that there exists a unique optimal revenue-maximizing policy for a CDN actor, in terms of dimensioning and allocation of its storage capacity, and depending on parameters such as prices for service/transport/storage.
Impact of Content Delivery Networks on Service and Content Innovation
- BusinessPERV
- 2015
The findings indicate that vertically integrating a CDN helps Internet Service Providers collect fees from Content Providers (CPs), hence circumventing the interdiction of side payments coming from netneutrality rules.
