Your statement misses the point, which is, *who* gets to decide what traffic is prioritized? And will that prioritization be determined by who is paying my carrier for that prioritization, potentially against my own preferences?I would say that with standard "run of the mill" consumer service, the provider decides.
George, Will the provider unbundle the components so that it's feasible for a niche vendor to sell me custom connection services? No? Then the provider doesn't get to decide. It's about control. As the customer, the guy with the green, I should have it. A combination of decisions on the provider's part which strips me of control is unacceptable. You want prioritization? Give me unbundling. You don't want to unbundle? Don't mess with my packets. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin () dirtside comĀ bill () herrin us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
