ISP: Anybody offering services over the internet, including Transit Providers. Transit Provider: An internet service "transit" where the whole Internet can reach your advertised network addresses. :-) Jack -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces () nanog org] On Behalf Of Miles Fidelman Sent: November 22, 2017 11:29 PM To: Luke Guillory <lguillory () reservetele com> Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Definition of ISP vs Transit provider Well yes, but functionally, how is IP transport sufficiently different to make it an "information service" rather than a "telecommunications service?" At least that's the argument I'd make against reclassifying access services. Miles On 11/22/17 9:24 PM, Luke Guillory wrote:

This prombpted the following question which isn't about the FCC action per say. This is about how does one define Transit provider vs ISP ?For that matter, how does one distinguish between someone delivering IP packets, vs. someone offering frame relay, or ATM - which are clearly telecom services?
