I think you might be missing the point of this. It sounds crazy and it is...but it isn't really worded well. The teleco are going to start a new thing where they charge big companies to attempt a performance advantage over their opposites. Just like this example, to charge Yahoo Inc. for the opportunity to have its search site load faster than that of Google Inc. So Yahoo might look faster if you are on BellSouth..but it will look normal if you are on Earthlink. Basically they want to get in the "charging for traffic shaping" business...that way Yahoo can pay Bellsouth a large amount of money and Yahoo services will always load faster than Google and MSN, etc, etc.....only going to hurt internet users overall IMHO however. -Todd _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
