Our TOS states if they want to run servers then they need a dedicated line.

No one out here would even consider paying the $250 per meg that I pay for bandwidth. So, I need to keep the right to refuse certain activities in order to have a system that is both affordable to the masses and performs well. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Unger <mailto:[email protected]> To: WISPA General List <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 3:24 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] net neutrality, there may be hope yet... Why would customers installing file servers cause you a problem if you limited their throughput to the Terms and Conditions of their contract where you would specify the amount of bandwidth that you were supplying them and limiting them to?

I've long opposed "network neutrality" rules on grounds that it could put most WISPs out of business. You'd be forced to live by the same rules that the urban ILECs and CATVs do, even though your cost of both last-mile capacity and middle mile (if rural) is much higher. Thus you'd be required to allow customers to install file servers at their subscriber locations, even though it's much cheaper (overall) to have them at a fiber backbone site. Recall that Vuze, who made the big stink, is a pR0n distributor using subscriber-site file servers and home-user computers to undercut other CDNs on price. I think Verizon actually favors such rules, on grounds that FiOS is hurt less than most others, including cable, and they'd be happy to see WISPs go away. (When I see them opposing it, I think of Bre'r Rabbit and the brier patch.) -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 _____ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
