It’s so much more pleasant reading someone who knows what the fuck they are writing about reference ISPs, infrastructure, and bandwidth.
Cringely also said the same thing I have all along, that it’s just a matter of turning up a few more ports on a router somewhere and doing a crossconnect and this whole “problem” would be solved. In most cases, it would cost literally a few hundred dollars (network engineer time + $50 fiber cable + NOC crossconnect fee).
