Network neutrality countries

Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 17 2012 @ 09:35 AM EDT

The Netherlands have recently adopted a network neutrality law, much to the
chagrin of comissioner Neelie Kroes.

and there never has been. It's a tiered system as it should be. Bandwidth is not
free. So, when a user wants to flood a particular private network with
BitTorrent traffic the entire network may suffer hence the DPI. That has driven
time sensitive users to MPLS/carrier eternet and the like. This presents many
problems for public equal access. The most agregious example is the HFT access
to NYSE, etc. Those cash rich entities can set a colo system across the street
and beat everyone else in the world to death. Those using the public network get
to smell the fumes only. ISPs are profit centers in the US until the Gov owns
the net world wide. Even then the military will get the preferred bandwidth. We
all pick up the crumbs.
