I think it would be more on topic if everyone weren't just guessing what users will do based on hypothetical behavior patterns and hypothetical content shifts. I WOULD be interested to see some data showing e.g. a drop in traffic to one service and a boost in traffic to another service when a particular bit of media was moved from the former to the latter. (Or a boost in both, etc.) On Wed, Nov 13, 2019, 11:04 AM Stephen Satchell <list@satchell.net> wrote:

"The NANOG mailing list was established in 1994 to provide an open forum for the exchange of technical information, and lively discussion of SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES (emphasis mine) that require cooperation among network service providers.
"Posts to NANOG’s mailing list should be focused on operational and technical content only, as described by the NANOG Bylaws."
Yes, some of the Disney Plus thread has strayed outside the four corners of the rules of the mailing list, but the bulk of the thread has to do with two things: geolocation inaccuracies, and traffic capacity shifts. For some network operators on this list, the discussion does not describe issues on their networks. But "some" is not "all".
