Re: dumb pipes

said by Karl Bode:

Are you saying you support content taxes? per-byte billing?
I'd rather see that than my bandwidth reduced because of new content distribution models which some people benefit more from than others.

Are you saying carriers cannot survive under the current flat-rate pricing model?
No. I'm saying we don't get something for nothing in this world. The BBC obviously knows this or they would have delivered their content the traditional way. It was clearly in their financial interest to use p2p. They are getting something for nothing.

Clearly someone has to pay. The BBC has shifted its costs. You seem to be saying it's not significant enough. To turn your reasoning back on you, are you saying carriers cannot survive by giving me my connection for free? I'd like the same deal the BBC got.

Are you saying that a consumer who freely chooses to use their bandwidth for the iPlayer, sends a check to his ISP, and that check somehow gets lost in the time/space continuum?
