I am not into politics. Really. A problem, though is getting the NN people on both sides to stand down, because the real problem was bufferbloat - and then work together to move forward, on an engineering, rather than political basis.
So, incidentally, while I'm suddenly paying attention to politics, while trying to find some way to get this engineering effort funded for next year... I noticed a new lobbying group has come out of stealth mode, representing the web apps people, google, facebook, salesforce.com etc http://internetassociation.org/ Anybody know these guys? I have long hoped to get these services aware that they needed to help fix bufferbloat if they wanted their cloud based businesses to work better. IF I felt like expending money on a marketing campaign to explain our issue, and get some funds towards fixing wifi in particular - the script to the video would look like this (leveraging the old "brain on drugs" meme) * This is your cloud based business - showing a fast, normal load time of some major website * This is your cloud based business on bufferbloat - showing a loaded webload go to hell of that site * This is your cloud based business with bufferbloat fixed - * Any questions? - point back to campaign site Then create a copy of that 30 second piece for every one of the web service providers listed as supporting the above org. And as many others as possible. And get it on youtube. And buy some ads. I have no idea how much that would cost to produce professionally (?) (at a cut above what jg has already done), but I'm certain it would do some good, both in raising awareness and maybe gaining funding for next year. -- Dave Täht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
