| Re: Couldn't Agree More Does that go in the reverse too? Content companies should stop deploying network infrastructure and asking for peering. They should just pick an ISP and pay for their bandwidth usage. Right? Google? Microsoft? Netflix? Is TimeWarner a content company or an ISP? Meep meep...
Perhaps Mitsubishi should stick to making.. um, what are they allowed to make? Google should only do search, right?
Love the arm chair quarterback business analysis done here. How many of you have MBAs or have run a company before? I'd say few. | |

| Does that go in the reverse too? Content companies should stop deploying network infrastructure and asking for peering. I think that reverse-analogy only works were content companies then using that acquired infrastructure to offer others bandwidth. | |

Nice job man

| | | Armchair analysis? Look, an MBA does not shield you from making bad decisions. Look at George Bush for example...
I agree, telcos whould concentrate on being the network transport and wholesaler, not the be-all everything to end users. They are doing a terrible job of that already. | |

1 edit | You are using network infrastructure as though they are deploying this for the consumption of the public as the current providers do. They are NOT, they are deploying this for the benefit of their business and own network. They have simply taken it a step further than getting a T1 line from the local monopoly. The consume enough bandwidth that it was economically feasible to build and to peer. That still does not make them an ISP. | |

How many of you have MBAs or have run a company before? I'd say few. Good points. And also the reason the cable and telcos got in to providing content is because the content providers(every bit as much of a near monopoly as the cable companies & telcos) were raping the cable companies with the prices they charge for TV content. They got in to that business just to give the content monopoly some competition.

| | | said by devnuller:Does that go in the reverse too? How many content companies do you know of that offer retail internet access to consumers and businesses? The answer is none, so it already is working in reverse. Companies like Yahoo and Google know their strengths and know that expanding too far outside their core business to something like providing retail internet access would hurt, rather than help them.
Love the arm chair quarterback business analysis done here. How many of you have MBAs or have run a company before? I'd say few. And isn't it funny how MBAs and executives think they know how to run networks better than the engineers and admins who are in the trenches. If it is good for the goose, it must be good for the gander.
