Er...
I have Netflix. I pay my cable company for the bandwidth already, but now they want to double dip. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

sort of, what regulation will end up doing
pay by the byte on the consumer side. 5% of ISP customers consume most of the bandwidth. So we are all subsidizing heavy users. If the ISPs end up metering bits like a regulated electric company you will have the fee structure just to have a connection $30.00 used or not. Taxes $4.85 Tab for people who don't have a connection yet $1.25 every GB above 300 MGB $30.00 And the damn politicians will go allright then, that is fair. We all get hosed and the providers will make serious bank. So the next outcry will be open the lines! So billyjoebobISP.com wants to pay minimum dollar for the right to sell last mile access. Providers will say fuck upgrading or keeping the lights on. Services will degrade, our costs will go up and someone will say, we need some regulations to fix this.
