How do you propose they manage those bottlenecks? Throttling?

They're also free to throttle traffic that causes the peering connection to become imbalanced and/or just watch as their peer irresponsibly saturates the link.
Why should they have to keep paying to upgrade so that the paying customer of another ISP can have a better experience?
Maybe they were tired of dealing with an unreasonable company and didn't want to extend special treatment to them.
Of course it would, if the link is saturated, all traffic would be affected. The alternative would be throttling a specfic set of sources, and we know how upset that would have made everyone here.
Why should Comcast have to pay to upgrade so that even more traffic from a paying customer of another ISP can traverse their network?
THANK YOU! Far too many people avoid or know nothing about peering and how a content provider can cause serious problems for the partners of their transit providers.
They can call themselves whatever they want, it doesn't make it true.
Careful, your tolerance and understanding is showing.
I stopped being concerned for now because like all movements driven by thin skinned, entitled, whiners, the SJW movement will implode. There's no slight or offense too small upon which a small cadre won't demand that the full weight of the movement be brought to bear.
When some resist as they don't think it's warranted or proper or worthy, there will be butthurt for days as the newly aggrieved subset whines about how the resisting side are traitors, tainted, sell-outs, etc. and they will have to fragment and waste time driving their own campaign against some minor (at best) issue.
Doesn't need to be only wifi. BUT, if the provider had the key they would have to decrypt the call or turn over the key on request.
Nothing requires the provider to interfere with me making an end-to-end encrypted call to another similar phone user. There are reliability issues that would need to be addressed, but it can be theoretically be done
It would basically need PKI or a variant and we know how stupid people are when it comes to accepting unsigned or new certificates. I can only imagine the stupidity induced outrage that would arise when they were told that the bypasses they chose to use left their phone less secure.
The NSA and other TLAs would work hard to compromise any central public key repository, leaving something like direct exchange or NFC the only way to really securely share public keys for the people who cared.
They are not required to deny/forbid the use of encryption on phone calls.
What dealership? Tesla is not trying to court dealers and instead wants to sell direct. They wish to, as you put it, put in the heavy local investment and have no dealers that they could swoop in and steal business from.
If she has no interest in violent video games, she ought to leave the critiques to people who DO play them and, by extension, will have at least a basic understanding of them and be able to explain things in context and proportion.
What's so great is that so many of the examples are presented as though they are constant and prevalent throughout the game and/or only happen to women.
I loved when it shows Red Dead Redemption (RDR), GTAIV & V, Saints Row 3/4 as examples of how women are disposable because they can be killed with little consequence. Guess what? All NPCs in these games can be killed with little to no consequence. Someone who plays these games knows this and doesn't need to be reminded; someone who doesn't play them could be forgiven for coming away with the idea that only the women can be killed without consequences. There might be an even deeper, sadder point in that one time when women can be truly equal to men in these types of games is in their disposability.
One of the more fascinating things I've noticed is that none of these types of critiques ever aim their lens at the last three Quantic Dreams, of which the last two received heaps of (undeserved in my opinion) praise and are misogynistic as all hell. I guess playing through them for more than 10 minutes is too much for a supposed avid gamer who loves video games (as her supporters like to portray.)
