I think it is the best argument for bit caps...question is, is the market ready for them at a level that you can live with.

You can spend A LOT of money and time dancing with P2P and shaping, or you can just charge $X for Xbytes of data and $Y per Ybytes over that. If a user wants to use P2P, Netflix, etc and pay me 300/mo for his overage, who am I to stop him? If 300/mo is too much, then they can re-evaluate their surfing habits or upgrade to an "all you can eat" plan. __________________________________ Jerry Richardson airCloud Communications -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Broadwick Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 10:28 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] BitTorrent to go UDP in next release That, and if you block it you risk running afoul of the same FCC that hammered Comcast. Just because you aren't huge you aren't immune. If a customer complains you have the burden of proof that you are not blocking ptp or any other service. Doesn't even have to be your customer. Any internet customer who uses ptp can complain about your service since theoretically they could receive content from someone on your network! You CAN manage traffic on your network, but only during times of congestion.

Well, it will be MUCH more difficult to manage, that is a certainty. It will be MUCH more expensive in terms of CPU requirements as well as network utilization that will happen in spite of your efforts to manage it. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * WISPA Board Member * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * ******************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ---- WISPA Wants You!
