Search engines (e.g. Google, AskJeeves, etc) index pages through systematic queries and provide them to users whereas service providers actually provide Internet access to end users for a price.

I apologize for thping slower than your grandpas signiature but i have a broken arm

2021-01-14 01:00:16 UTC  

And when I say that "Internet should be a public utility" I am implying that it should be on the same level as water, heat, and natural gas.

2021-01-14 01:00:55 UTC  

Wouldnt that just make ips's "big oil"

2021-01-14 01:01:12 UTC  

Public utility companies are regulated at the state level and are not private companies. Currently, ISPs (internet service providers) are private companies.

Ephesians 2:10

2021-01-14 01:02:24 UTC  

Yeah you're probably right considering how the majority of services have gone from operating postally or in-person to the internet. Coronavirus has highlighted just how important the internet can be

2021-01-14 01:02:30 UTC  

2021-01-14 01:02:51 UTC  

And this means that Internet providers could potentially slow down your Internet depending on what kind of demographics you've been ticking off. In short, they could make you pay more to visit smaller websites, which is American crapitalism as its finest.

2021-01-14 01:03:17 UTC  

How do you quantize the internet? Bandwith? Data storage? Algorithms?

2021-01-14 01:03:53 UTC  

The telecoms that gets installed in the ground to give you internet is owned by a public utility company, and is "rented" out to your internet service provider iirc.

2021-01-14 01:04:04 UTC  

Read the Bible

2021-01-14 01:04:56 UTC  

could be confusing that with electrical energy suppliers, though

2021-01-14 01:05:12 UTC  

Bandwith is the rate of transfer across a band, so yeah.

2021-01-14 01:07:00 UTC  

It's usually owned by the telecom carrier (e.g. ATT) but this has changed as we've moved over to fiber optics.

2021-01-14 01:07:20 UTC  

Read the Quran

2021-01-14 01:07:32 UTC  

Bible is gay and cringe

2021-01-14 01:07:43 UTC  

My first house had an actual wire above the roof for a "separate landline" that was dial-up.

2021-01-14 01:07:48 UTC  

Read the Torah, goy 🇮🇱

2021-01-14 01:08:06 UTC  

And then I got broadband which was like glass-shattering fast at the time.

2021-01-14 01:08:27 UTC  

fine cause I'm taller than them and could kill them

2021-01-14 01:08:36 UTC  

So you would quantize your product as "(quantaty of information transmitted/t)" so a telecom sells bandwith to an ISP who then funnels data througn this connection from the telecom?

2021-01-14 01:09:14 UTC  

put em down like a drug addicted jogger lol

2021-01-14 01:09:28 UTC  

The telecom/telco and the ISP are usually the same company nowadays.

2021-01-14 01:10:03 UTC  

Comcast acquired AT&T Broadband.

2021-01-14 01:10:04 UTC  

Interesting

2021-01-14 01:10:24 UTC  

Comcast was the ISP and AT&T was the Telco.

2021-01-14 01:10:32 UTC  

So they practically have a monopoly over their customers.

I believe it happened sometime around 2001 or 2002.

2021-01-14 01:11:55 UTC  

It was when AOL and Time-Warner did that stupid merge, too.

2021-01-14 01:14:02 UTC  

How would you change the current system to make this nationalized? Would you have to make deals with foreign nations over the bandwith?

2021-01-14 01:14:16 UTC  

I can't wait for Floppa Friday

2021-01-14 01:15:00 UTC  

There's already a system of traffic exchange for bandwidth.

2021-01-14 01:15:45 UTC  

There are countries with universal broadband already: several nations in Europe have done it.

2021-01-14 01:16:10 UTC  

I believe Switzerland was the first.

2021-01-14 01:17:41 UTC  

Personally i believe state nations in europe are dead but lets continue with this, how do you prioritize resources as an individual leader?

2021-01-14 01:18:09 UTC  

I don't. I don't want to be an individual leader.
