Re: Election 2010: Teabaggin' the Ds & Rs

Maybe one of you smart people can help me. Level 3, which provides web services to companies like Netflix, complains that Comcast demanded a fee to transmit content to Comcast customers. Comcast says that Level 3 was going to send a lot more content than it received, so this is only fair. Assume this is so. (Given Comcast's user base, isn't that going to be the case for almost anyone who wants to transmit content to Comcast customers?) Comcast charges more to customers who want to download more content, and less to those who don't. Why doesn't this solve any problem (as a question of appropriate incentives, as opposed to corporate greed)?
