" to give priority"
Assuming priority is given. It's going to be very rare for their to be both only one ISP and no other ISPs able to be motivated to be present. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Thomas" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2021 1:51:50 PM Subject: Re: DNS pulling BGP routes?

Yeahbut, for the last mile that network is often a monopoly or maybe a duopoly if you're lucky. If streaming provider 1 pays ISP to give priority over streaming provider 2 -- maybe by severely rate limiting provider 2 -- the people who get screwed are end users without a way to vote with their feet. That sort of monopolistic behavior is bad for end users. Mostly I want ISP's to be dumb bit providers and stay out of shady deals that enrich ISP's at my expense. And if it takes regulation to do that, bring it. Mike
