So what is my $80/mo Comcast Internet Service supposed to be buying me?
- LanceH 9y agoLobbying. Seriously, though, could someone do a traceroute and tells me who pays for each hop?
- wmf 9y agoBasically you (the customer) pay for the last mile and Netflix is getting extorted into paying for the rest.
- Spivak 9y agoNot just the last mile but the peering agreements that your last-mile ISP has with either a backbone provider and/or other networks.
- jerkstate 9y agoTelecom and Internet lobbying aren't all that different: https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/indusclient.php?id=B09&year=2015 https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/indusclient.php?id=B09&yea... https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/indusclient.php?id=B13&year=2015 https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/indusclient.php?id=B13&yea... Alphabet spends more on lobbying than Comcast.
