New Re: Box is against Net Neutrality.
If an internet company wants to provide fancy search or movies or whatever, they shouldn't own the pipes. Sounds good, the pipe owner should charge, thanks for agreeing with me.

When you do a googl search if you are a large ISP customer, the google search never leaves that ISPs data center. Google has a local presence. Same for content, it is forward stored. Since google already lives inside that center, shouldnt they pay a little rent for the space and power?

New So, make them pay the rent
we certainly do at our data centre.
New thats not neutral :-)

New You're missing the point
about net neutrality - it's not about having the companies that own the pipes not own the content, it's about the companies that own the pipes favoring their content traffic over the content of other firms.




"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
