Quote:Regulations that impose stiff penalties for degrading traffic or acting in bad faith regarding peering arrangements would be a good start.

 

 

Because they are at least guaranteed not to lose money on the lines they're running and still can actually compete for end point customers?

 

Ok what keeps me from building the lines at X amount of dollars, then my competitor who doesn't have to recover the overhead of building the network can come in and under cut my price by Y dollars how am I not going to lose money? What you're explaining is different than what Eleventh Door is explaining. I'm fine with regulation saying you can't change speed based upon content. However saying you have to give your competition network access at cost is a different story.
