Who's gonna depeer Cogent *now*?
Probably noone....... at least not without compromising and first peering with Netflix. It would be interesting if Google, Wikimedia, CBS/ABC, CNN, Walmart, Espn, Salesforce, BoFa, Weather.com, Dropbox, Paypal, Netflix, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Yahoo, Ebay, Wordpress.com, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Reddit, Forbes, Zillow, formed a little club and said "OK, Tier1.. providers.. we're not paying you guys for transit anymore; your customers want our stuff and will consider their internet service DOWN if they can't get it. You are going to pay us for a fast lane to our content now. If you want it, please start sending us your bids, now."
