Well that's all fine and dandy. however the internet has worked for 20 years that I have been asssociated with it, on the working principal that no one hassled or encumbered peering charges and there were no board rooms or stockholders and that is why it worked, because people knew what they were doing. The admins and network engineers that do this daily for a living or scientific researcher that develope codes and methods to do it better made this happen and certainly not the latter and from my view it WORKED. Adding Joe Blow to the picture is like elevating A Janitor to Director of Network Services and turning him/her loose in the NOC. Goldstein_William () bns att com wrote:

BBN is answerable to their customers and shareholders and not to your or my ideals of how the Internet should work. -- Shields, CrossLink. <<File: Re_ BBN Peering issues.TXT>>
