Forest Hills, NY | Hedging Their Bets Suppose for a moment that these ISPs are a bit worried about the potential of Network Neutrality legislation?
If all you are is a provider of equal pipes to all content, your business will quickly turn into a commodity.
I think they see big advertising bucks going to Application Service Providers (such as Google), where none of that money finds its way to the ISP (unless you're an ISP feeding a Google data center). |

Well considering the whole NN came out of the fact that ISP would favor their own portals and extort fees form companies like Google who is too blame? If ISPs would have stuck to being dumb pipe and be happy that sites like Youtube, Google etc have content that makes people want to shell out $40, $50 or more a month for internet service then there wouldn't be any NN legislation in the first place. |
