I don't think of this as a difficult issue at all. What we have now is the Internet. Once you allow service discrimination, then it is a different service. It is no longer the Internet.
Thus, if a corporate wants to run a network with discriminatory services, then let them do it on their own network. Give us customers the option of another wire or both services on the same wire.
Then let the market decide.
Of course, no-one will want the discriminatory service, so what greedy corporate entities want to do is subvert the status quo. They want to steal the Internet.
- charlesattlan 16y agoA good, if slightly out there, analogy would be Pepsi or some other company using its unfair financial position to use existing infrastructure to pipe its product instead of water. In this case the absurdity would be apparent, but when it comes to the internet there seems to be a lack of knowledge (especially in the aged political class) of how it should and does operate. There is work being done on an alternative internet which would be free for all. Each home would be a node, with the capacity to be a cache, a destination or a bridge, achieved by leveraging wireless routers to create a mass mesh network. http://netsukuku.freaknet.org/?pag=home http://netsukuku.freaknet.org/?pag=home
