Re: business traffic via internet from/to iSeries

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think your level of service is going to be more based on what you pay for, 
or possibly a
bidding war with your competition. In an unregulated market, Amazon.com 
could pay large isp's to inhibit or slow down Barnes & Noble. That may sound 
far fetched, but we are talking about the same companies that already are 
blocking certain traffic in other countries in order to gain access & market 
share, and have engaged in blocking certain legitimate traffic (not spam) 
here in North America.
This has less to do with protocols and more to do with who's paying what 
fees. Picture California's energy market experiment only it's the internet 
traffic we all use for business.
