Re: A little something for everybody in today's cmmttee action

That's another little something these telcos seem to like to exclude - the content provider's peering and hosting costs, which I'm sure quite a bit of trickles back into the telco's pocket, at least AT&T and Verizon.

Google costs the ISPs nothing, Youtube costs the ISPs nothing, XM Internet stream costs the ISPs nothing.

why? because not only do these content providers have to pay for their pipe but the person getting the content is overpaying for their pipe. basicly the costs are covered, and the communications industry cant say otherwise because they are making tons of money in the profit department(i mean their VPs make close to a million or more a year)
