Re: Losing small ISPs may not matter ....
said by TKJunkMail  :.... if the RIAA can sign up Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, TWC, and the few other large ISPs. They could then have deals covering 85% of the US market. Hmm...then what happens next? People who download a lot of movies and music figure out which ISPs are participating and which aren't (the Internet is a wonderful thing). Those smaller ISPs get a bump from those people, and the problem is still there for the **AAs while the rest of us either lose access to the legit functions of P2P (doubtful given the new administration) or the **AAs still have a problem as more torrents move to being encrypted.
Could this be a headache for smaller ISPs too? If they get a lot of people flooding in who use a lot of bandwidth, they'll need bigger pipes to keep everyone happy (or some kind of metering arrangement).
Long story short, the **AAs are still fighting a losing battle.
