What I don't get is why Cognet and Sprint disconnecting their direct links to each other would result in an inability to communicate from the one ISP to the other at all. Shouldn't the traffic have then just taken a more indirect route?
The policies you hope to avoid through net neutrality law are already in place. Government regulation of the internet would be far, far worse. Net neutrality is simply a foothold for government to do as they please with the internet. I, for one, will not stand for it.<a class="user" href="http://www.mises.org/story/2139">http://www.mises.org/story/2139</a>
Talk about bone-headed. When they cut that last line I bet a lot of customers were well pissed when their network went dark. This will cost Sprint so much more than the little game might earn them. Someone should lose their job fighting over something so trifling.
@synapz Fail my friend,A neutral broadband network is one that is free of restrictions on content, sites or platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and on the modes of communication allowed, as well as one where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams.
