A customer pays them for access to the Internet. If that access demands more infrastructure then Comcast needs to build out the infrastructure and pass on the costs to the customers demanding it.

I think it sets a very bad precedent that Level3 agreed to their terms. How long would it have lasted with Comcast subscribers asking why they couldn't download their movies?
Considering L3 was recently skating the border of the pink sheets, it should be no wonder that it is a very different response than the one given to Cogent, for example. Then again, who blinked first there? It is amusing that the once-disruptive L3 is seeking to defend its position in the so-called "tier 1 " carte^Wcabal by running to the regulators. I wonder how its fellow members of the club will like the idea of feds poking into their business when both sides of the equation are examined... -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
