Thanks TNT, this little excerpt from the article says what I've been harping on for a long time now:
“The battleground — where this degradation takes place — is at ISP interconnection points. These are the places where traffic requested by ISP customers crosses between the ISP’s network and another network on which content and application providers host their services.”
There would be no need for ISP's, no need to get on the internet at all, if there was no content to be requested by the ISP's customers (us). These guys (the ISP's) would have nothing to sell us without internet "content" which we want to "see". Instead of charging the content providers, they should be jumping for joy that they (the content guys) exist, and are "there", so the ISP's have something to sell..............internet access!!!! No content...................no need for an internet connection in my home...............period.
