<div dir="ltr">I thought under current regulations, a packet was a packet. That is, the owner of the transmission facilities have no ability to bias the availability of a packet for their own application services. I can imagine we will have to continue to fight any change in that approach because the monied interests see a profit opportunity if they can get the regulations changed, but currently owning any additional transmission facilities only increases the potential customer base for everyone connected.<br>

They are just trying to counter the Google's loom project. It is very<br>
simple, who will control the transmission media, will win in the long<br>
term. This is why competition migrated to mobile devices and now they<br>
are migrating to the transport media itself. Service providers are<br>
trying to control the whole stack.<br>
