Way too soon to evaluate effects of new rulestook effect at midnight last night and so far, nothing appears to have exploded. The rubber meets the road over months/years as the FCC starts to deal with complaints and issuing rulings against specific targets. Did anyone really expect anything would take place the 1st day? | |

Then you acting foolish. The results, real, planned and unintended, will not be known for years. Nobody with an ounce of common sense expected the internet to shut down at 12:01AM today even assuming all the worst outcomes. | |

My Slingbox is working betterTwo weeks ago I was having issues with buffering on my Slingbox (Slingbox is on Comcast, iPhone is on Verizon) and I'm using them both in the same place I was at the last time (Baystate Medical Center).
Not as much buffering but I had to turn off LTE because of poor in building reception but the 3G EVDO/CDMA is great. | |

Re: So Netflix doesn't pay?Netflix is paying for transit from the likes of Comcast and Verizon just like they were paying for transit from the likes of Level 3, NTT, XO, Zayo, TeliaSonera, and so on. They never paid for a fast lane - prioritization over other traffic. | |

Technically it's not a "fast lane" as Comcast isn't slowing down other video providers' traffic or making NF exempt from caps. Also, NN doesn't prevent CDNs from buying transit directly from ISPs, CDNs can still buy from whoever they want. | |

Re: So Netflix doesn't pay?Exactly - CC and Netflix peer with eachother. Buying transit directly from a last mile ISP helps reduce load on the overall backbone.
Large content providers SHOULD seek arrangements like this to make their customer experience better. Apple, MS, etc. should all peer directly with the top regional ISP's in addition to the Tier 1 backbone providers.
The Tier 1's will breathe a sigh of relief as they avoid the exaflood or whatever Cisco is calling it now. | |

Was it really Cisco that was panicking about that? If I remember, it was analysts and consultants that got their panties in an uproar. Or was it all Big Networking marketing trying to sell more stuff? I'm not so sure, because Big Networking doesn't care about Big ISP capping connections (which was a big push with the exaflood panic). | |

Re: So Netflix doesn't pay?Correct it was a guy from the Discovery Institute who read a Cisco white paper and interpolated it as Exaflood:the end of times. » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di ··· nstitute has lead the charge on a number of falshoods for the easily panic'd such as Inteligent Design (creationism as science) that end up debunked AFTER the fundraising is over. | |

Use this time as evidence in courtBy the time this goes to trial, evidence that it has done NOTHING to impede ISPs should be used to prove they are full of it. | |

Taxes on your internet bill will appear shortly thereafterEnforcing these rules are going to cost money. Expect to see taxes on your internet bill soon. Did you really think it's for the consumer's benefit? | |

Re: Taxes on your internet bill will appear shortly thereafterThat's only if the Senate refuses to pass the latest bill permanently exempting internet service from taxation, everywhere. | |

Re: Taxes on your internet bill will appear shortly thereafterYes, they will totally not find other things to tax beyond "internet access". It will just come from magic money. | |

The rules went "live" last night?That sounds like some magical script was run and ACLs and firewall rules automatically changed... | |

Is this "damned it you do damned if you don't"?I'm hearing that with net neutrality now we'll start to see new small fees (very likely if the senate doesn't pass a bill against that) but if we let verizon have its way then they and the other isps would have screwed us the same way but now with slower speeds for sites not connected to making them profits. Can anyone correct me? | |

RIP: Unlawful content?I'm a little surprised that the RIAA, MPAA or a religious organization hasn't already attempted to compel some ISP to start blocking "unlawful content" per the NN regs. | |
