If Peering is your biggest fear, then please comment on the BST-ATT
mereger - and ask that peering arrangements be left as is for 30 months
or so.

This is an issue which needs further study for sure. The sky is not
falling I do not believe. Taking action to force complete neutrality
on all net traffic is not in the best interest of a commercial ISP who
has to make some tough decisions when looking at issues like peer to
peer traffic and such. I am not interested in forcing myself to adhere
to an "all bits are created equal" philosophy unless there are
provisions that allow me to filter viruses, spam, limit excessive
abusive traffic, etc. I think everyone needs to study the issue fully
and then start thinking about how best to proceed. In the meantime we
need to get a feel for what the possibility is of us all getting
shafted at peering locations. I see this as the biggest threat to what
we do as an industry. If we have to start paying prices like the old
days or higher for bandwidth then this could get ugly real fast.

I watched it too. Very nicely done. I'm not sure that I like the
fact that there were no telcos there.
I've got mixed emotions about this one. On the one hand, I don't
like government over regulation. It's true that there isn't a
problem today. It's also true that the telcos aren't to be trusted.
I think I lean more to letting the market take care of it's self till
we KNOW of a problem or an impending one.
Someone else really needs to take the lead on this though. I fail to
see any concrete reasons to be all worked up about anything other
than the idea that all should be able to buy anything they can afford.
The argument that some will have faster pipes than others rings
hollow to me because the internet is already like that. The more you
pay, the faster you can go. Gee, what a concept.
