Re: BT comments Redux
They can. They just need to change the business model to recover the costs as Content changes (video is really a game changer as far as bandwidth). Do you think Consumers should pay or Content should pay?
Content thinks that the Consumers should pay which is why they are pushing the costs to the broadband ISPs via bandwidth arbitrage, exploiting peering relationships and P2P. |

| I pay for my Internet access; each customer pays for his/her Internet access--this includes sites that host content. Which sites I visit is my business, not the business of my ISP. I pay for my access, something for which the sites I visit have no responsibility or liability. If my ISP wants more money to pay for supporting my usage, then it can raise the rates it charges its customers (or try to). The suggestion that any site which I may visit is in some way responsible to my ISP for supporting my access/usage is, in a word, silly. |
