OTT services beneficial to 'dumb pipe' ISPs

Again with the fear of being a dumb pipe.

So many people want a dumb pipe. Just with more bandwidth?

Who wants to see services get tied to ISPs... not this guy...

The internet is supposed to be open, so all that's up to the ISP is to provide the best quality connection, not work on deals for exclusive content.

I pay a premium for my dumb pipe ISP
I have access to Time Warner - with double the speed, but I stay with GWI because they provide a great service with no traffic shaping or DNS redirects or any of that other BS, just the internet.

Re: OTT services beneficial to 'dumb pipe' ISPs

Agree, ISPs should be in the business of delivering the bits. There is very little competition in the first-mile market. ISPs should be treated as a common carriers, open to all without discrimination. I realize that is more difficult then in the old days of MaBell but I think it is a useful regulatory goal.

Value add services should be performed by others or at least by an independent entity with no cross subsidiary by the ISP.
