Nah, it falls down on its face pretty hard.

Dan basically posits that it's all the fault of transit providers, completely ignoring the fact that the transit market is a competitive market whereas last mile providers have a termination monopoly. That's just silly.

The article is also so full of straw men, it's almost like Dan is stocking up for a Guy Fawkes festival.

He points out that the public debate is entirely about ideology. Nobody has real data, or those who have real data don't share it. I don't see where he's blaming transit providers for anything. The transit provider was an example of a technical point that most of the public is unaware of, but which complicates the discussion. It's also an example of a way the open internet order could be completely circumvented.....get your transit provider to do your traffic shaping. They're not an ISP so they don't count.

Can you point out the straw man?

I consider myself neutral on this topic. I'm willing to consider arguments, but my problem is that nobody has coherent arguments.
