This article seems to be (kind of) making the same point. https://www.lightreading.com/optical-ip/routing/putting-a-price-on-latency-startup-network-next-aims-to-fix-internet-routing/d/d-id/752055
"What happening that I think is terrible is that the public Internet is turning into this neglected commons. And all these private networks are growing at a faster rate than the public internet," he said. "Now it's just a bunch of private networks with walls. The clouds and the CDNs are bigger than the actual Internet… You've got all these private networks out there and then no traffic goes across them unless you're a customer of that particular provider." The solution, according to Fiedler, is to incentivize the companies that own those private routes to open them up to select public traffic. "We provide value by helping them discriminate paid versus unpaid traffic, so they can scrub unpaid traffic at the edge and only carry paid traffic at a price they specify, over their private network," he said. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Sunday, June 9, 2019 8:55 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Where is the outrage over package delivery neutrality?!?

Sure, why not? :) Everybody wins. Outsourcing to a more cost effective provider is already a thing, in the sense that Fedex uses USPS as the last mile provider for some deliveries.
