>>But do you think AT&T and Co. will like that?
No, I don't, but I'm not an AT&T apologist. It's networking I care about.
>>but how exactly would you do that without causing ire of the same monopolists who hate competition?
Fuck the carriers who are fighting against competition. My concern is that in 2030, we're going to live with regulations that were established in 2015. Do you remember what the Internet was like in 2000? Do any of the rules that would have made sense then apply now? IoT, M2X, etc. are changing how everything works.
I don't want a bandwidth hogging technology like video to overwhelm innovation in machine learning based m2x spaces. I want video to work- but I also don't think we're done innovating.
- nitrogen 12y agoDo any of the rules that would have made sense then apply now? Yeah. Rule 0: deliver the packets. Optional: reorder packets according to customer QoS, but never without customer request.
- maxlybbert 12y agoDoesn't net neutrality make it impossible for the customer to pay extra for QoS? Or have I been following the debate with incorrect definitions?
- droopybuns 12y agoThis is my understanding. Chairman Wheeler stated: "These enforceable, bright-line rules will ban paid prioritization[...]"
- nitrogen 12y agoI guess ISPs will have to give QoS support to their customers for free, then.
- droopybuns 12y agoTHEN THEY'RE PRIORITIZING TRAFFIC. This is a subsidy to netflix and youtube. Gamers, Teleworkers, et.al. lose. Pre-roll ads are the big winners.
- shmerl 12y agoIf you want improvement you need to regulate monopoly to prevent its abuses, I see no other way.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> My concern is that in 2030, we're going to live with regulations that were established in 2015. In the areas that the FCC regulates, it regularly makes updates to those regulations more often than every 15 years. (This would be more reasonable of a concern if highly-detailed rules were being written into statute law.)
