- jerf 16y agoNo, no, no. ISPs to 3rd party developers: "We want a cut. Probably a very big cut." Very, very different. Different problem, different solutions.
- tjarratt 16y agoI was thinking more of small, 3rd party developers. Right now, if I'm deploying a client-server app, I ssh into my machine, send lots of debug json at it via curl, and do a lot with "arbitrary data" that would end up costing me a lot of money under their proposed scheme. The last thing I want is for my ISP to have a developer program where I get certified to send the packets I want to across their network. I just want to write a server to back my app!
