Okay, I know someone else is going to do it, so I might as well:
How does your above equation make your point (assuming for a fact its
even accurate)
INTERNET = TRANSPORT + CONTENT
INTERNET - TRANSPORT = CONTENT
I guess it can equally prove that UUNet should pay for web farms. (this
is not an opinion statement, just algebra). If we wanted to get really
specific, there is another equation
- INTERNET = TRANSPORT + CONSUMERS
therefore: TRANSPORT + CONTENT = -(TRANSPORT + CONSUMERS)
CONTENT = -CONSUMERS
What does that prove? Content has to go somewhere that is, the consumers.
