CDNs are a neccesity for latency and distribution, little of it has to do with your origin provider's quality. There are still some pretty terrible providers out there, some of them are HUGE and have hundreds of thousands of satisfied

"The outcome is that telcos lose a lot of negotiating power to content providers." The percentage of content providers that deliver to telcos directly is almost zero. Netflix is one of the biggest notable ones, but even they don&#

Your points on 2+4 are not based in fact and are extremely general statements. On point 2 - All of these agreements work, sometimes the agreements where more money is at stake take longer to sort out but they do get sorted out. The biggest

Consumers do suffer when lastmile carriers don't work to find solutions, however the solution is for customers to complain to their provider. The more people who complain the faster it'll get fixed, NN absolutely won't solve

I'll briefly address this having worked on multiple sides of this argument; Your examples were all sorted out pre-NN. The Skype/GWallet issues are more related to mobile carriers having control over your mobile devices than anythi

Looks like the image of the laptop is photoshopped, the keyboard is "wrong". IE: its the old and more popular keyboard.

I suspect its a joke ala OSI Layer8. Given that IPv6 adoption has been incredibly slow, more IP standards are unlikely to be transitioned to. If you're really picky about layouts, you can just reuse your IPv4 address with your IPv6 add

The only people touting "smart guns" as a solution are people who seem to think that firearms are the actual problem. Let that sink in for a moment.

There are tons of ways to safely store a firearm that mitigate the "where is it" objection, all of them cheaper and safer than buying a new gun of debatable reliability. I have yet to test this but I believe the grip safety of a 1

This gun is extremely poorly designed in the case that it doesn't fire when the person using it can't fire it when they need to. This is a solution in search of a problem because the number of deaths it will prevent is likely zero
