sorry for continuing the threadjack a bit farther...but anyway, my cable internet provider has limits on how much monthly upload and download usage can be. They have never enforced it, but ti is in place and i keep waiting for htem to randomly stick to it...
Now, for the actual thread...It took me a bit to understand it, but if i'm reading correctly, is this basically saying that company A can pay to have its content prioritized over the content of company B...Is that what it's saying? I can see how that would change EVERYTHING about the internet and how it is used....How can Joe blow who is selling widgets even get noticed bc his site's bandwidth is pushed so far back in the queue that it's pretty much inaccessible....
from a business standpoint, i can see how this could make an ass of money, but the damage it would do is just astounding.
amazing...
