I understand that politics is off-topic, but this policy affects =
operational aspects of the 'Net.
Just to be clear, L3 is saying content providers should not have to pay =
to deliver content to broadband providers who have their own product =
which has content as well. I am certain all the content providers on =
this list are happy to hear L3's change of heart and will be applying =
for settlement free peering tomorrow. (L3 wouldn't want other providers =
to claim the Vyvx or CDN or other content services provided by L3 are =
competing and L3 is putting up a "toll booth" on the Internet, would =
they?)
