no. those days passed in the last century. you just don't know them.
but then, you are not an operator so no surprise.
what you are seeing, and creating massive noise around, is a business
war between the last mile cartel and the content they envy and want
to supplant or at least bleed. transit, peering, caching, etc. are
just business and technical tools being used in that war. keep eye on
doughnut, not the hole.
Sure looks like a wild west range war to me. And let's not forget that
Netflix is not some tiny company anymore - 1/3 of Internet traffic or
some such, 46million members, $1billion Q1 income. Yeah - big guys
fighting, no established law or regulation (well, there was, but the
Supreme Court overturned it) - looks like a range war to me.
ahhh. so
not government regulated == wild west
got it
randy
lawless, big guys fighting with little guys in the middle == wild west
