Abstract

This article analyzes some of the political tensions that cross internet regulations: specifically, the positions facing the non-regulation of the internet (and its neutralities) with trends toward possible re-regulation of the network-of-networks. The work is part of a larger research that seeks to analyze and rethink the architectural principles (technological and legal-political) of internet. Its purpose is to strengthen discussions on the field of internet regulations at regional level and contribute to the development of digital technologies oriented to social inclusion and fair distribution of the wealth of humanity.
