So when you said: "I can only hope the holdouts will "see the light" before the weight of government crashes down on them" you were positing an unlikely outcome?
I wasn't positing any specific government action. I opine only that the current behavior is likely to result in one, that the current peering holdouts are unlikely to find such action preferable to open peering, and that a voluntary practice of open peering stands a better chance of keeping the FCC at bay than any less severe change to current practices that's obvious to me. Unless the ship has already sailed. Voluntary open peering likely could have kept the FCC at bay, but it's not always obvious to me when something is too late.
BTW, I'm not a lobbyist,
As it turns out, neither am I! ;) Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Owner, Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/> Can I solve your unusual networking challenges?
