Why?

• bifrost 9y ago
  Regulatory and compliance costs are regressive - they target small businesses because they're aimed at large businesses but tend to adversely affect smaller ones at a greater rate.

    Are we talking about net neutrality here? Because I don't think NN can be costly. Net Neutrality is the _natural_ state of computer networks, you don't have to do anything special.

      NN regulation is not at all the "natural" state, which is why I think its a bad idea.

        Suppose you're a new ISP. Explain what is the cost of complying with NN regulation.

          To a new ISP, I'd say budget %10 of subscriber fees to regulatory costs till you reach 5-10k subs.
          • DiThi 9y ago
            I mean, what would you use that budget for? Why would it need to be 10%? I'd say it's 0%.
