Re: Internet net giants

it's a free ride for ISPs, in the sense that the connection is useless without any content to connect to

so the value of the internet connection is directly tied to the fact that their is content which is available through the connection... in other words, nobody in their right mind would pay for an internet connection to a new Internet-3 if there is no content available on Internet-3

so, the ISP is getting a free ride from content providers (google, yahoo, porn, games...) without that content, they wouldn't be selling a connection at all

@res.rr

Thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself.I have no problem with paying for my connection. Content providers probably have no problem with paying for their connections.Where the problem arises will be if we allow highway robbers to set up road blocks and try to extort money out of the traffic. They should shut up and be happy they don't have to pay for the content that they profit from.
