We could, but doing so doesn't advance our conversation very far. Richard has reasonable insights; they might be right or wrong, but they are reasonable. There is one rather silent group of people who do have a strong interest in network neutrality: Those people who are going to invent the next Google. We don't know who they are, they don't know who themselves. They don't speak loudly for an internet onto which they can layer their new ideas without asking for permission of paying provider tithes for the privilege. So while "big content" may benefit from a flat-toll network now, we will all benefit in the future from an internet that continues to encourage innovation and choice at the edges rather than the center. (My own definition of net neutrality isn't one of a fixed flat toll for all traffic; I believe in different prices for different levels of traffic engineering services. To me net neutrality is an absence of self-dealing and predatory practices on the part of providers.) --karl-- ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
