I think you and I disagree on the definition of "anti-competitive". But that's fine. There is more than one problem to solve. I just figured the FCC thing was timely and operational.
I agree with you, Patrick. Double digit/meg pricing needs to die.I'm not sure that the change really alters backbone policy, but it would definitely open the doors for bad things in the access networks. That being said, only the largest networks could put enough pressure to benefit from it, and some do that currently. I also don't see this as any different than the business model some streaming sites enforce where the ISP must pay for stream access based on their subscribers instead of interested subscribers just paying for an individual account. Fair is fair, and some of the streamers have been hitting ISPs longer. Once again, only the largest streamers can hope to get away with it, and only the largest ISPs can get the low priced deals. In both cases, it's the small ISPs and small content providers that suffer.
I don't see the FCC stopping megacorp bullying anytime in the near future. Jack
