Not clear if this ruling disallows private companies from sticking a CDN directly on an ISP's network and pay for it.

still a better outcome than the current situation of isp agreements carving the country into local monopolies

most of the time that only happens in cities and its because the local city gov is being paid to do it.

yes. that's a fast lane and since it would provide better service to customers its banned under net neut.

you will pay through increased ISP subscription costs. however, its still highly likely that this just causes ISPs to abandon new infrastructure improvements at their edges. either way its a terrible day for the internet.

anyone who actually thinks ISPs haven't been doing anything is really dumb. ISPs spend billions of dollars every year which is why municipal broadband is going to be really hilarious. u think ppl are gonna pay more in property taxes in a few years when they try to keep up with private companies in capex spending? lol

municipal internet will be stuck in the past and then u will realize just how much comcast, verizon, etc actually do invest

I mean real cities where isp competition should be a thing but isn't. in the vast majority of places where there is little competition it is entirely due to the costs of establishing a network and the low return on a small population and not laws preventing competition.

actually they did exactly what they were asked to do and made broadband (defined as 768k+) available to the majority of the us as well as establishing the massive cell data network that we have now. more money would of course be needed to serve those out in the boonies. personally I think they should move to civilization instead of demanding someone else pay for it.

AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel said the company invested $11.8 billion into its wireless and wireline network in the first six months of 2014. He said the carrier confirmed in July that it expects to spend a total of around $21 billion this year on its network.

Speaking at the UBS Annual Global Media And Communications Conference today, Shammo said that Verizon continues to expect to spend roughly $17 billion this year on capital expenses across its wireless and wireline business, which he said is at the high end of the carrier's guidance for the year.

yeah, it's awfully convenient that they don't separate wireless and wired capex.

at&t just spent $18.2 billion and verizon $10.4 billion on wireless spectrum. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/aws-3-auction-results-att-leads-182b-verizon-104b-dish-10b-and-t-mobile-18b/2015-01-30

so? idgaf if the countryside has cell coverage, their wireline service is subsidized and i would bet that money is factored into their "infrastructure investment" costs even though they didnt pay a goddamn penny of it

does not prevent it. hosting closer to the end user is already the status quo, regardless of the fcc ruling.

no. you are wrong. a fast lane is arbitrarily blocking/policing traffic on the transit ingress and then requiring that traffic originator (netflix) or customer to pay for access to a direct peering link.
