Re: BT comments Redux
Draw a graph of consumer Internet speeds and look at the last 2 years vs the last 20. Now add the wholesale price / mb change over the same period with the last 2 years driven by questionable peering and intermediate ISPs selling a router port hop (vs real transit).
No one can predict the future and I don't think the past is a good judge with as many changes that have happened very recently. My main point is there is a cost to deliver bits and if, I repeat IF, these costs drastically change, either Content or Users (ISP) will need to pay for it. Content wants to shift network costs away from their books in preparation of this. They have been working that angle and PR pretty effectively. |

Golden, CO | Easy thing for BT to do: depeer the iffy ISP and rework an agreement.
If they're not willing to do that then they need the content companies, not the other way around. |
