How to ask the Panel a question over the Internet?

All questions over the Internet are made via the Chat function within Ustream.tv. Your question will be screened from the Chat room by the Chat Moderators. A limited number of questions will be taken during the Panelist’s discussion and presented during the Q&A session.

We ask that all questions be in the following format:

Your Name - the name which will be presented to the Panelist
Location - your geographic location from where you are watching the Live Stream.
Panelist - the particular panelist who your question is addressed (type ‘ALL’ to ask a question to all panelist)
Question – your brief question regarding Network Neutrality.

Examples:

•(Erik Smith-San Francisco-Tim Wu)- What is your definition of Network Neutrality? Why is there little consensus on a single definition?

•(Ruben Pineda-Chicago-ALL)- What are the social ramifications of adopting technologies that require a guaranteed Quality of Service?

•(Sara Spowart-Monterey- George Ou)- Are there technical benefits in implementing an Internet2 backbone that are unavailable with existing best-effort provisioning? If so, what are they and how does the average user benefit?
