The Internet - as we know it
The competitive ISP industry tends to equilibrate on the lowest local cost structures
There are no objective criteria to identify who is the provider and who is the customer
Debt is better than profit as a means of leverage of ISP value
- there are fewer ways of establishing true value
underlying carriage tariffs shape Internet-based ‘locality’
Within each local tier cell ISPs tend to SKA peer - or not
- bluff is a critical component of the peering game
Strict tiering blurs because of the confusion over value identification
- is content of equal value to transit?
