OOPS! I click a link and read some net neutrality stuff and went off on a tangent. But I'll leave this here just for the sake of......leaving it here.

The ISPs seem to want to spread misinformation about who is paying for what when it comes to the net. They claim the Googles, Yahoos and whoever else are not paying their fair share.
In reality, EVERYONE is paying for the internet. I pay to access whatever I access (porn). The content providers pay for access to supply the content. You can't be on the net if your NOT PAYING FOR IT!
If the ISPs feel the content providers are using too much bandwidth, they should rethink their methods for charging for internet access. The only way I can see an ISP making a mistake in regards to a contract for access to the internet is by giving the user unlimited bandwidth. And I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen too often unless you're really trying to build a customer base and break even.
Eh... Smurf'em!
The only thing I see is greed! ISP 1 gets charged by ISP 2 for bandwdth usage and in return ISP 2 pays ISP 1 for whatever it uses. The money goes in a big ole circle! They're just trying to put icing on the round cake. |
