What other route? ALL the major carriers in the US are going to do this, your connection must terminate or pass through their network at some point.
It REMOVES the level playing field of the internet totally. That's what I've been trying to point out.That's what the articles point out, that's what has people so very worried that the US might kill the internet as we know it with this legislation. I am not so convinced of that. You obviously are. But I suspect market forces may contribute to the downfall, even if this legislation comes to pass. It just takes one carrier to drop their price to get more of the market before another one does to stay completive. Because of the nature of TCI/IP protocols, these backbones are the ultimate commodity. Each and every packet of data will find a way to get from point A point B. So if provider A says they are full then it will go to provider B, or C or D or brand new E, who just came to market because he sees demand for a provider that does not charge extra like all the others are. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
