George Herbert says:
Small providers who are barred entry based on a fixed membership fee
but will have low traffic would benefit from such a settlement arrangement,
Karl, as offensive as settlements are to most of us. Do you really want
to form a crowd of anti-CIX small fry competitors who start lobbying
congress to help ANS's model out?
Gordon Cook asks:
I am missing something here. If I were charged by the byte for such small
service provider access, that access would likely be more expensive than th e access available from the larger no settlements providers. I'd stick with them and the small service setllemnets advocates would go out of business. No?
