Re: how them pipes work said by impala:packets travelling left to right only consumer = isp1 = pop = quest = pop = isp2 = website website = isp2 = pop = att = pop = isp1 = consumer consumer pays for bold part, website pays for italic part. The consumer, ultimately, pays for ALL the parts. Websites get money from advertisers for the most part. Advertisers pass cost on to makers of products and services. Consumers buy products and services and part of that pays advertisers and the websites. The only thing going on is fighting over who is getting the biggest pieces of the pie - the websites, the advertisers, and makers of products & services. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. ..
