| EMC if EMC can do this, this will totally tilt the media market on it's access.
It may affect the way companies like akamai do business as well.
Interesting thing they are taking on here. It will be interesting to see this unfold.

| Re: EMC It wouldn't be as big as you think. This really doesn't work as a means to peer information effectively since the amount of transactional traffic it generates would be far too great. What this sort of model is great at is broadcast based traffic, and if you look closely to how we model the internet this is already being done by internet based larger companies like Google and Amazon.
In these models the master pushes out data which is cached at local substations and then relayed to whatever requests it via unicast or multicast using clever routing setups to make sure that user requests travel as short a distance as possible to an available distribution node. When the data isn't there it is pulled down, cached and then set out.
What EMC claims that they are trying to do is allow this to work through a two-way setup where nodes can send data back. This is possible, but only for small systems where locking data is possible to avoid potential conflicts. Node to node peering with limited editing can allow for multiple simultaneous editors, but this gets very inefficient very quickly. So yes, it is interesting, but potential gains here would be more massive for small businesses than big ones who can already do this to some degree. | |

| Re: EMC I should have worded it a BIT BETTER. My mistake.
What this will give companies like akamai is basically a NAS for each city , and save on storage costs. Same for media companies.
This should drive storage costs down , allowing the company to cram more gear in the same rack space they use now.

| | | | There's no justifiable reason for paying a sales tax on purchases made outside of your state... except, of course, for your home state's belief in its God-given right to tax everything that moves. | |

| | | | said by thegeek:you should not have been avoiding the tax before. you are supposed to report those purchases on your state taxes and pay the sales tax (if your state has a sales tax). but only stupid people would do such a thing... Especially since this "stupid" person pays more than one third of their income in taxes already, and some states like NY are considering holding tax refunds because they have no money.
No worries, my new W-4 going in will mean no more interest free loan for any state. | |

| | FCC Suggests screwing you out of more money Great, so they've done absolutely nothing to help broadband deployment, don't seem to understand the concept of competition, haven't fixed the USF, and now they want another tax? Are we going to rely on Apple and Amazon to properly use the funds, the way we've trusted the telco's with the USF? Can I get some of the crack being passed around at the FCC?

There is no another tax? You do realize that if you buy something from Amazon and aren't charged tax you are legally required in most states to pay that tax. Just because you choose to not pay that tax doesn't mean it's not supposed to be paid.
Do I like the idea of paying sales tax? No. Is it going to happen? Yes. Would it be helpful if ther was some uniformity? Yes. | |

| | | | Re: FCC Suggests screwing you out of more money But what "uniformity" can you have when every state/county/city has a different sales tax rate? Do we all pay the highest rate in the country, or do the people who live in the highest rate areas catch a break?
My concern isn't the tax itself. It's who's managing it. The FCC has proven they are useless when it comes to protecting consumers. So this plan will either go no where, or it will pad the pockets of those who "support" the commissioners.

Mount Airy, MD | said by BF69:Would it be helpful if ther was some uniformity? Yes. We already have uniformity. If you order from a business which has a presence in your state you pay sales tax. Otherwise, you don't.
Seems quite uniform and fair to me.

1 edit |  Disband the FCC!
Why can't government do what all of us have had to do during this Depression? CUT BACK SPENDING!
This latest money grab just shows that the FCC is yet another completely useless government agency that we would be better off without.
