> Clearly Orange has no idea how the internet works and what’s their involvement in it. The ISP is just a dumb pipe to connect the user to a server, nothing more. Clearly Nathan Campos has no idea how the internet works. Negotiations about charging for traffic is normal business, and has always been. > The user fees should be equivalent to their connection speed, not their usage, which apparently is something that ISPs can’t understand too. This is practiced for some land networks (in France, most of them) because the traffic is still good enough and most people are not generating so much traffic, but this can not happen on mobile network because of the much limited capacity. Limiting the rate is the way to guarantee that the mean traffic does not explode, saturating the whole thing. > French President Francois Hollande warned Google on Wednesday that his government would legislate a so-called Google tax if the company doesn’t reach a deal with French media companies. Orange is not a media company, and the rest of the post recognize that and talks about ISP.
