I think the most honest reply is that the open Internet does not exist in the western world. Read that again. All major traffic from MS, Netflix and so on is already very segregated. There are several locations were any provider can do QoS in layer 7.
And do not underestimate the power of carriers. They are the reason why you can not use mobiles on a plane.
- warrenm 5y ago>They are the reason why you can not use mobiles on a plane. The reason you can't [reliably] use mobiles on a plane is the network is designed for terrestrial use with slow handoffs from tower to tower The signal is shaped to keep it aimed more-or-less downward, and is intended to hand-off from tower to tower at "normal" travel speeds (say, up to ~100mph) Could handoffs be designed to work at 500kts? Sure Could towers be designed to aim a notable chunk of signal upwards into the emptiness of sky and space? Sure But why? The overwhelmingly-typical use case is that of billions of people on the ground moving slowly The number of airplanes in the air at any given time is minuscule in comparison
- AtNightWeCode 5y agoYes, but the point was. The carriers asks the aviation companies to tell their customers to not have the mobile phones on cause all the fast moving phones causes problems with the mobile networks.
