Re: I believe everything he says..
Sage points Maxo. As an FYI, the validity of my argument rests on the following:
As I see it as long as the data pipe is not overloaded to begin with, prioritization is useless. It doesn't make a difference which packet is prioritized as there is capacity for both FIFO-wise on the pipe. Prioritization only comes into vogue when there is contention for a single timeslice on the pipe by two packets.
Furthermore, the pipe to the home must work tomorrow as well as it does today, with appropriate improvements in throughput (similar to what we've seen over the past decade). Degradation or stagnation of what we have today is NOT factored into any of my arguments.
I still don't like the idea of proactively legislating. If it becomes an issue, undo it. Otherwise let the markets decide.

clubs: | I get your point. Though I sit far to the left I am weary of will-nilly government legislation, especially when it comes to the internet. I think this one issue is a place where I'm willing to part and say let's do it. |
