Ok got the history. But today I don't pay for Internet so I can be
connected to your home PC. I pay so I have access to the content
providers in your colo.

Since you seems to work with the cable guys. Is the group think
occurring here that consumers would pay for broadband services if there
were no content providers? That we all just paying to connect to each
other? And content providers need to pay beyond basic peering to provide
content to us? It seems to me that the telcos and cableco have forgotten
we as consumers pay every month to fund the network. That expression
"renting their networks" really gets under my skin. If I and everyone
else didn't pay a hefty sum every month there would be no network. What
do I get out of this? It seems I am investor in network the providers
are going to rent to content companies. When do I start getting paid for
my investment?
hello, please to read history of the intarweb. Back in the day, there
*were no content providers* even at the time intarweb was mostly
commercialized (no nsfnet, etc).
