Re: ... said by Billa9b0ng:The ISPs have to be hating this. That was my first impression, but the reality is that they're broadband consumers as well -- of backbone companies -- any of which could be cheating them in secret.
This will help keep everyone honest. ISPs, in fact, ought to donate equipment/money/bandwidth/rackspace for their own nodes.
This is very, very, very good for the net.

kudos:2 | Robb, why do you feel that this is "very, very, very good" for the net? Don't get me wrong, I don't see it as bad, I just don't see any huge benefit. |

kudos:2 | Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I see the ISPs burying language deeper into the ToS and AUP as the average consumer gets smarter about what s/he thinks they're paying for. Oh well, time will tell. |
