What I argue is that the methods that people are taking to prevent this are futile. Sitting down and playing a high stakes game when the deck is stacked against you is foolish. I do not advocate the philosophy of taking your ball and going home, I recommend taking your ball and finding a better game to play. The Internet is not an entity that should be litigated into subjugation, it is a dynamically evolving entity that lives based on the technology injected into it. Getting right down to it I feel that preventing QoS routing and tier pricing would be a bigger detriment to the Internet as a system then having it be rampant accross the board. If you litigate technology to fit a static model you will stop innovation. Look at China, they have this huge firewall that is preventing their citizens access to the free flow of information, and at the same time we have hundred if not thousands of people working very hard on circumventing this. They are coming up with ingeneous solutions to this problem that work. I believe that the same thing will happen if this tier pricing QoS routing becomes a problem. You will have people who come up with good solutions to the problem. Maybe it is large scale mesh networks that bridge QoS inpeded areas, or maybe a new technology will emerge that makes relying on the common carriers a thing of the past. Let the dinousaurs eat themselves to death. Dan @ [url=http://www.codetown.org]Code Town[/url] Loading...
