I agree with this, a monopoly is ok if the government regulates it properly and effectively. I'm a fan of either: Dark fibre to every house. Fiber to every house with a soft handover to the ISP. All ran by an entity forbidden from retail. Ideally a mix of both, soft handover for no thrills

Gah, While I'd agree that Netflix shouldn't get free transit, ATT shouldn't be charging for better access than Netflix can get over other tier 1s. Likewise, for local delivery there's nothing wrong with peering. Besides, when a small ISP starts up they have to buy transit/lay fibre to a major

This would be my humble suggestion: - lines provider runs fibre pair from each home to co. By default the lines provider installs a simple consumer terminal, with gigabit Ethernet outputs and POTS. - lines provider provides a reasonably oversubscribed service to soft hand over to ISPs (think 96

Wait, I'm confused? Of the ISPs can't handle 5mbps of traffic when a customer wants to watch TV, why the hell are they selling 100mbps plans!?! Answer that with something other than because the ISPs more lucrative content business is threatened by Netflix? Stop trying to hide what this so

Instead of over subscription ratios think about what each user is doing. Let's say one 1080p Netflix stream per customer, that's 6 mbps each. Perhaps provision for that and you'll have plenty. On 20/07/2014 11:06 AM, Frank Bulk frnk...@iname.com wrote: Thanks for sharing Ben, that's 450

Brett, Why would Netflix pay your ISP? You are, Brett, a tiny ISP. Only 200 customers. That's barely a /24 of IP addresses. What will happen instead is that your customers will pay to subsidize the network of larger ISPs who do have that marketing power. This is the true risk. Of Netflix is

I do agree that Netflix could offer caching services for smaller ISPs. But that's a fight for another day, right now were focusing on whether Netflix should pay for caching content, let's look at the cost comparison. NOT CACHING with Netflix - up to 8gbps of transit - what's that, several grand a

One thing I've noted from those that support Verizon in this thread is that they often talk about Netflix's policy being unfair on small ISPs. Verizon is not a small ISP. Small ISPs seem happy peering with Netflix when they can (in fact they seem happy peering with anyone given there costs of
