APSA Paper on Deep Packet Inspection

As a result of my previous research project at TU Delft, my former supervisor Milton Mueller and I have co-authored a paper on Deep Packet Inspection for the upcoming convention of the American Political Science Association (APSA):
The End of the Net as We Know it? Deep Packet Inspection and Internet Governance
I will not be able to attend the meeting because of the duties in my new job in the European Parliament, but Milton will be there and present our work. For those of you at APSA or in Washington DC next week, it should be an interesting panel in general: "Global Information Technology Issues: Policy, Politics, & Methods", 2nd September, 14:00 to 15:45, Marriott Wilson Hotel, room B.

Side note: Because APSA is now using the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) as their paper repository, you get all kinds of information on the usage of your papers. Ours, it turned out, made it to the top ten downloads for the SSRN e-journal "Journal of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, & Growth" under whose umbrella the paper was posted. Interesting, though I have to confess I had never heard of that journal before.
