Looking at the last section of the article it brushes onto an other war between content delivering infrastructure. The current war for DoH dominance is between google and cloudflare, with chrome and firefox being the bannermen, but a more general perspective is that DNS data is becoming a war between CDN's.
Later in the wars I would expect ISP to once again regain their access to DNS data if DoH became default. CDN's must cooperate with ISP in order to be a content delivery network. It is very hard to operate an anycast network with server located near the edges without close relation with the operators of those edges. Most times the DoH server is going to sit at the ISP server hall, next to the ISP own resolver. In some places it can be the same physical machine and just separated by software. The border is not going to be very bright between the sovereign domain of the CDN and the ISP.
- wbl 7y agoWhy do ISPs need to see DNS data?
- belorn 7y agoISP use DNS data for monetization, like selling it to advertisers. There is also a political aspect for many ISP where there is close cooperation with local government, and the need to comply to request of filtering is pretty high in some countries. A CDN pays ISPs, carriers, and network operators for hosting its servers in their data centers. ISP do this because it provide them revenue and better service to their customers.
