Re: Broadband
Why not Earthlink? Because I don't view them as a facilities-based provider, and I never think resellers/rebundlers/repackagers have as good a clue as to capacity availability as the facility owners. Qwest may well say the same thing, but Qwest remains essentially the runt of the Baby Bells with service quality and availability problems to match. Were I "CIO Insight" seeking ISP comment, I'd probably seek out a major Bell AND a major cable provider.
I said I agreed with most of the "CIO Insight" piece and I agree that it points to edge concerns. I personally don't much like prioritization as it essentially admits the existence of under-capacity--I'd rather see the capacity upped. (I don't like carpool lanes, either.)
And my question about a possible shot at Net Neutrality was a serious question--I wasn't sure if it was a roundabout slap at NN or not. You appear not to think so, Karl, and I respect your read. I also appreciate you highlighting the article in the first place, as it does offer a much-needed counterpoint to the DTT piece.
