How's that House Judiciary Committee working out for you? The House Judiciary Committee amendment to COPE, a victory for SaveTheInternet.com, is just the beginning. More to come.

The Markey Amendment flamed out again, for the third time. It was a good debate, the two sides had a fair hearing, and the Wisdom of the People carried the day. So for a little while. at least, the Internet is saved from the killing regulations in the Markey Amendment and freedom is saved. Hail Democracy!

A lot of the new services (eg.live video) have higher network demands than normal internet traffic. video traffice is hugely bandwidth intensive. Unfortunately, it isn't hugely attractive. On a per-bit basis, nobody is willing to pay for video the same rates they willingly pay for email and web browsing. Video is about 3 orders of magnitude more bandwidth intensive. if you pay $50/month for mail/web, are you willing to pay $50,000 per month for live video feeds? I don't think so. However, if you charge $50/month for video size bandwidths, then mail/web is essentially free. ($.05 per month). the network providers thus have a dilemma. How do you make a network upgrade pay for itself? The obvious answer is to "colour" the bits and charge different rates for different colours. keep charging the mail/web bits the same and only charge video bits 1/1000 the price of mail/web bits. This gives you bonus revenue and doesn't eat your existing business. Alas, nobody trusts the network companies to color the bits "fairly".
