The term "network neutrality" was invented by people who want to control a network owned and paid for by someone else. Your version of "unreasonable" and my version of "unreasonable" are on the opposite end of the spectrum. I think it is unreasonable for you to tell me how to run configure my routers, and you think it is unreasonable for me to configure my routers that I pay for the way that I want to. Net neutrality is just a fancy word for "I don't like the fifth"*. >> The CDN market has multiple competitors, and the barrier to entry the >> market is relatively low as you don't have any last-mile issues or >> difficult-to-get government license requirements. > > To enter the market competitively, you must have large number > of servers at many locations, I think. Hence the "relatively low". It is far easier to start a CDN than it is to start a residential internet service. At least here in the U.S. Thanks, Sabri * The fifth, besides the right to remain silent, also contains the takings clause.
