From: "William Allen Simpson" <wsimpson@greendragon.com> [snip] As it turns out, the inequality is actually in the other direction. UUnet is a consumer, not a provider, requesting the traffic from the web farms. So, it would be the consumers paying the small ISPs, paying UUnet, paying the web farms.
UUnet wants it both ways, with them getting paid in the middle....
Of course, if UUNET (and other BB providers) can't make enough money to keep their network in place and their people motivated (and compensated) properly, they'll have no reason to stay in business, and then the server farms will become regional islands anyway. UUNET would only be interested in paying a farm that they owned!

INTERNET - CONTENT = TRANSPORT
Okay, I know someone else is going to do it, so I might as well: How does your above equation make your point (assuming for a fact its even accurate) INTERNET = TRANSPORT + CONTENT INTERNET - TRANSPORT = CONTENT I guess it can equally prove that UUNet should pay for web farms. (this is not an opinion statement, just algebra). If we wanted to get really specific, there is another equation - INTERNET = TRANSPORT + CONSUMERS therefore: TRANSPORT + CONTENT = -(TRANSPORT + CONSUMERS) CONTENT = -CONSUMERS What does that prove? Content has to go somewhere that is, the consumers. -Deepak.
