Maybe GP was asking is using Tor would circumvent the issue?
- giaour 9y agoWouldn't ISPs just block or throttle all Tor traffic (like they did with bittorrent back before net neutrality regulations were in place).
- dsnuh 9y agoI mean, that's my guess. Just trying to interpret GP.
- ianai 9y agoI’m thinking something like the onion plus a conglomerate fee for first class citizen level prioritization.

- kakarot 9y agoI have no idea what you are talking about. What do you think "the onion" is?
- dsnuh 9y agoMaybe GP is saying Tor could monetize to provide private access? Which, correct me if I am wrong, is a feature Tor doesn't even provide? I'm pretty lost too.
- ianai 9y agoClearly I’m not the guy to talk to about tor/onion. I’m wondering if a network could be set up across thousands of homes somehow and that network could purchase priority of its traffic. Basically there’s always a way to add another layer of abstraction to circumvent a lower layers restrictions.
- tpxl 9y agoYes, a mesh network would work for that, then you just need a method to measure how much traffic each node serves then pay the node operators for that.
- ianai 9y agoIs anybody working on that?
- tpxl 9y agoI know there were mesh networks with wireless microwave transmitters deployed in some rural areas, but I can't find the articles. It's probably going to get more and more attention though, along with distributed electricity and similar things as technology progresses.
