Re: Sorry, but espaeth is correct

said by SuperWISP:

It's necessarily much more expensive to deliver bandwidth to the end user via the last mile than it is to deliver it at a server farm. I know this because I'm out there every day -- on roofs, in users' homes, climbing radio towers -- to make that "last mile" link. Content providers should not be able to shift their bandwidth costs to ISPs, multiplying them in the process. See my testimony before the FCC at »www.brettglass.com/FCC/remarks.html for a detailed explanation of why.

Your whole presentation exemplifies exactly the fallacy I was pointing out. It amounts to "everyone must adapt to the existing bottleneck in the last mile, instead of the last mile being improved; if users make problems for ISPs existing business model then users must be restricted instead of ISPs changing".

Just to single out one example, you claim to believe in network neutrality, but condone the ISPs' prohibitions of servers - precisely one of the most egregious violations of network neutrality.
