FCC is a commission and not a department, the only political tie would be with the appointment process and the laws that Congress sets to govern the commission.  

Didn’t really answer my question though did it.

If the tax bill passes today......people are going to die by the millions and the world will end.....again.  I believe this has happened 17 times this year alone. 

 

They are are just getting ready for the end....again.

What do they think about CIR and QOS.? They support a level playing field where newcomers are allowed to innovate and are not hampered by side deals carriers have made. They want Congress to act so this is not political football every two years which is also disruptive.

So you don't have any government foljs who know what those terms mean?  You could have just said that.

The government runs Amtrak.  What could possibly go wrong?

They also run Medicaid and Social Security.....both of those are doing great!

I design and manage Quality Of Service reports for our company and so I know what those terms mean. It never occurred to me to ask them.  Most folks in the industry are aware of issues with the lack of Service commitment  in meeting specific application needs.

So you understand then, service providers don't have network backbones with unlimited bandwidth - network capacity is limited to about 90% of what their aggregate infrastructure can support.  Your company has to pay an ISP for the bandwidth you want, depending on your needs right?  Your company doesn't get to pay a flat fee and use as much network capacity as they want.  

 

Service providers are also in business to make money, just like Netflix and YouTube, as examples.  Netflix and YouTube take up a large portion of all bandwidth (estimated over 50%) going from providers to users and also eat up a huge chunk of provider backbone capacity.  If you want providers to enhance/increase their network capabilities, it has to be financially feasible for them.  They can't be expected to invest millions of dollars that they can't recoup in some way.  They recoup those costs by charging customers who use the bandwidth.

It's been hard going. 

 

All the emoji on my kid's phones have disappeared, they aren't dealing with that very well, but we have an appointment with a child psychologist scheduled. 

 

I had to send out an email to everyone at work informing them it will now take 3-4 days for inter-domain emails to arrive - some of our exchange servers are now 97% fragmented. 

 

All of our L2 MPLS networks have rerouted to 39.0392° N, 125.7625° E, which is odd because I didn't realize you could forward packets to GPS coordinates.  I guess you really do learn something new every day.  I'm sure that issue will work itself out, but in the meantime we have disabled all our encryption, since whomever is at those coordinates is almost certainly trustworthy and will probably just forward them back to us.            

 

On the bright side, all TPS reports have been suspended until the interwebz tubes have been re-calibrated and unclogged.

Love the reference to Pyongyang!  Yes, they are all trustworthy there!
