I came across this link on a mailing list: Internet
Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2008
For once, this legal text is clear, and does take into account technical
realities. It also succeeds to this one: Internet
Freedom Preservation Act of 2008 . After several bad surprises in Europe,
and having to admit that EU hasn't yet realized Net Neutrality is a key element
in Internet's Future, it is really pleasant to read that at least one country
has a decent vision of how things should still be done. Congrats, Mr. CONYERS
and Ms. ZOE LOFGREN for such a brief and detailed Bill !

Content Networks VS ISPs: Round 2
By gregoire on Monday 14 April 2008, 15:49
I've spent 2007 designing and implementing a content network for a company
that dealt massive outbound bandwidth. I won't insist on the exact volumes, nor
on the company's name, but the volumes I talk about were more than the smaller
ISPs in France.
Back in end 2006, when we thought copious amounts of bandwidth was
THE leverage for getting cheaper transit per meg costs, we
soon noticed that it would get harder and harder to peer with such
volumes.
In our very naive mind, we would have thought that us, content
providers where the ones to make plain internet
access interesting.
We obviously were wrong...
