Everything You Need to Know About Why Net Neutrality Is a Terrible Idea

The article seems deliberately deceptive, entirely ignoring the second half of what it claims net neutrality means except to criticize Google for not treating all the bits it sends the same, and then encouraging us to think net neutrality creates a "bevy of regulations" for Google's competitors. What new regulations apply to non ISPs? How does net neutrality change that other companies have to make deals with service providers?

There's no argument here, just a complaint that Google is huge which, while probably valid, seems irrelevant.

basically that opinion is a joke. the problem here is, is that he things that if somebody peers directly with a internet exchange, that he can just have as much bandwidth that he wants. which is somewhat correct. but the whole argument is incorrect. since actually peering with a global exchange means that ALL isps can actually use the same bandwidth that you provide to the exchange. this is good for competition since else only ISP A could have a good connection to youtube (because it is inside his network). but most of the time there are at least 3 ISPs and any ISP would actually do everything to get more customers on board which means that other ISPs would have a weaker service. public peering is as fair as something can get, since if you pay for it you can actually get the exact same amount from the cake than anybody else. with private peering things are different and sadly these things are done way too often. private peering means that a big telco does not peer with the public exchanges, which means that to get traffic to them the traffic needs to somehow find his way into their network. they do that to actually force others into private peering, because they can get way more money out of it (they actually can ask for money from the customer and from the data provider). and they would do it even if some service would be inside isp network b...

btw. in germany DE-CIX is one of the biggest internet exchanges around the world. but somehow the big ISPs only peer with it, with a really really low margin, only because they make ton of money with private peerings.
