Still don't understand what you're trying to say. It seems you believe that advertisers have so much control over the billing model for Internet services that they dictate what features ISPs can provide. That is not the case in my experience, based on having worked for a variety of ISPs of differe

There's market forces both sides, the content providers who want a premium service, and the advertisers, whose business model is subsidised by the imposed market failure. That's how externalities work. But legislating for market failures to subsidise the vested interests of advertisers, means consu

It's interesting that we're seeing around the globe a push to impose by legislation net neutrality, as a means to prevent market forces who want to do exactly that. Rather puts them on the wrong side of history. While the differential exists between value as dictated by the market, and legislativel

In Australia we don't have service providers constrained under Title II. We have the NBN delivering national wholesale broadband. All it would require for Australia to support 2 or 3 tiers of service delivery (RTP, standard, bulk transfer) would be for the NBN to honour service differentiation (DS

If your client sites have redundant links, you can get massive performance benefit by routing bulk transfer via the backup path. As for there is no QoS on the internet, that's mostly because US service providers are legislatively blocked from what would be a departure from net neutrality. This wil
