Why shouldn't people expect the bill to be the same? The cost of bandwidth has gone down about 10-15x since Netflix streaming launched.

Why should you be able to charge Netflix as well. What if they say no. What if they say screw you your IPs can't get Netflix and block you entirely.

As ISPs, we just have to absorb that cost or raise prices to compensate, doesn't help with the big bad ISP perception.

There are some logical reasons why such a scheme would be fair, but it would really drive up the cost of everything.

Get good IP traffic accounting and charge the upstream content providers for carrying THEIR sourced traffic. Don't penalize the end users. ;-) (My $0.02, can I have my change back now?)

Bbut more to the point, nobody is going to do something like that anyway, because there's no way that it would be worth the customer backlash they'd have to deal with. Nah, nobody is going to have the sense to feel silly about it... they'll just keep whining for awhile, and then forget about it. Or else, they'll find something that's completely unrelated that they don't like and blame it on the lack of NN.

They defined reasonable network management as being driven by technical reasons rather than business reasons (paraphrased). Not disagreeing with you, just clarifying. The bigger loophole I saw was that transit providers were excluded from all the rules. Put an AS in between you and your upstream who just does filtering for you. They're a transit provider so they have no NN rules. It was very frustrating to witness all the crazy theories about what would happen. I wonder if anyone will have the sense to feel silly about pontificating on Facebook when absolutely nothing changes. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Dennis Burgess" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: 12/15/2017 3:43:06 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Our NN statment NN did not disallow you to block facebook, just have to disclose it.
