[ale] OT: FCC and ISP

[Jim Kinney]

As it will certainly impact Linux networking, I would put this as certainly
on topic.

And very very disturbing.

So FredsCo pays to get his bits onto the network, and Mary pays to see bits
from the network. Now, the bit carriers can charge FredsCo to have his bits
actually make it to Mary. Next change will be charging Mary extra for
getting bits from FredsCo. I'm picturing the miscellaneous fees like
shipping and handling fees for physical goods.

I was under the impression that the carriers were making pretty good money.
This really stinks like a way to squash out Comcast competitor Netflix.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
