then perhaps they should get out of the isp business and into the datacenter business... You know, its only several hundred million dollars to get a good one up and running, 
Or they can actually make an effort to do good in the content business, and "give up" the "oh so hard" task of making sure the people have a way to view the content. That way later on when we have a few ISP's that actually do a fantastic job delivering connections to homes, they can charge them this fee they are trying to get content providers to pay,  |

1 edit | i know a single content provider doesn't occupy a whole data center. They are lucky if they even need a 1/2 or full racks worth space and a gbe drop to a switch to get the job done for the big single location guys.
I'm just poking fun at the group, aka incumbents |
