Re: Perhaps.. Why do you ask me to have faith in engineers to work with segmenting and yet you can't have that same faith in those engineers making it work without segmenting? My faith benefits the consumer. Your faith benefits stock jockey's. I think I will keep my faith.
They ARE dumbpipes and need to act accordingly, or be regulated into it. When it serves them, they want to let the market decide. So then let the market decide. By the very nature of the network and the very nature of the market the more people that get on the service the more it will be saturated and the more people will go else where that is not so saturated. Thus the network will balance itself. If they want more customers, then they add more bandwidth. THAT is how the market should work.
The problem is these DUMBPIPES don't want to invest to make that market model work. They want to take the current expenditures and try to cram more and more on the pipe while introducing new revenue streams and use "network management" as the bandage to do so. |
