I take two parts to this.. 1. So when Cogent, a transit provider that sits in the middle of content owners and ISPs was caught prioritizing Netflix’s traffic into Comcast, why weren’t proponents of net neutrality up in arms? Why weren’t they calling on the FCC to do something? [Cogent Now Admits They Slowed Down Netflix’s Traffic, Creating A Fast Lane & Slow Lane]
2. The idea that an ISP is going to purposely slow down or degrade the experience of their user by harming Netflix, Amazon, or Apple’s content is ludicrous. These are in two paragraphs, but still, don't these two sentences contradict one other? Maybe I am wrong? Guess the difference now that I look at it is one is a transit provider and the other is an ISP, the net neutrality order has nothing in it for transit providers, but cogent is a ISP as well with many lit buildings on-net, so where does that difference begin?

Obvious I have my own biases, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong :) Now, I never claimed I was impartial or unbiased, but the article in question does not rise to the standard of "best NN article" or even try to be impartial or unbiased in any way. A lot of what Dan writes is true, but I do take exception to a lot of the framing and editorialization. It completely ignores the primary issues, the facts of termination monopoly and how lacking last mile competition influences network neutrality, while subtly laying the blame on other secondary issues. > "Don't bring peering policies into it, as that's a completely separate issue." > That's what most people are pointing to as NN violations, though. Well, most people are idiots, so that doesn't count for much :) Jesting aside, the Internet order explicitly says: "30. But this Order does not apply the open Internet rules to interconnection." Thus anybody claiming otherwise should just shut up. Jared
