Vint, <br>
I don't understand why Google does not put a proposal to the WCIT
that all telecom operators should pay Google (Facebook, Amazon,
eBay, other content providers, all bloggers, etc.) exactly the same
amount they are asking to get under the "sender pays" rule? I mean,
if there's no content, people won't need to connect at higher speeds
(or at all), and the telecom won't need to invest in building the
infrastructure. If I were Google, I would have done that. <br>
Further, the root server operators might also ask payment for each
request; a small amount of course, given the billions of requests
per hour. Thus the telecoms will be able to report huge volume of
money going through their bank accounts - in and out ;)<br>

<div>It is not only "sender pays"(*) but also a theory that
"addition of QoS will make things better", i.e. addition of QoS
will increase the ability to send a higher number of ones and
zeroes over the same link.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a fundamental flaw in the thinking by telco-minded
people. Packet based networks do not behave that way(**).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Priority is _only_ effective if a link is full, and what
priority does is to influence the decision making process of
what packets to delay and throw away.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, to be able to do what telco-minded-people are interested
in doing, they have to introduce _artificial_ situations where
links are full. I.e. the goal is to have invested in bandwidth
that is not used.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Artificial scarcity to ensure the prices on the market stays
high.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Think about what the average politician thinks about that in
a world of market economy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Specifically as the number of bits to send in the tubes do
double every year(***).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The rest of us do believe it is better to add bandwidth as
adding any kind of priority might make the experience of using
_a_full_link_ better, but only for a very small amount of "too
much traffic". Two weeks later (due to increase of traffic) the
link is so saturated that it must be upgraded anyways.</div>

the IX in Stockholm, and also the first customer. Bahnhof that
is an access network provider. But not one of those
