I believe a network should be able to sell priotitization at the edge, but not in the core. I have no problem with Y!, for example, paying a network to be prioritized ahead of bit torrent on the segment to the end user but I do have a problem with networks selling prioritized access through the core as that only gives an incentive to congest the network to create revenue.
<end user> I DO have a problem with a content provider paying to get priority access on the last mile. I have no particular interest in any of the content that Yahoo provides, but I do have an interest in downloading my Linux updates via torrents. Should I have to go back and bid against Yahoo just so I can get my packets in a timely fashion? </end user> I understand that the last mile is going to be a congestion point, but the idea of allowing a bidding war for priority access for that capacity seems to be a path to madness. --Chris
