Deficits between a rich nation and a poor one means that the rich nation, with the most power, imports more than the poor one, with the lesser power. Why people have a hard time understand this I just dont know.

Only poor or growing countries have superavits. Yes, like China, which has more really really poor people than the whole population of the united states multiplied by two.

I dont even know why I bother trying to explain...

Security software does not work. It used to be a good idea back in the day when the internet wasnt everywhere. Now the only thing that is going to work is replacing every single piece of every software in any computer for one designed for security.

Antivirus, malware detection and even firewalls are mostly scams nowdays. IDS/IPS systems are a joke except maybe real good teams that are proficient in snort or sourcefire.

I guess you are speaking about yourself? The common carrier rules are there to prevent the owner of the pipe from extorting the provider of goods and services that use or are enhanced by communication. If that rule was not in place, a telecom could have blocked or extra-charged a pizza place over another, thus leveraging its natural monopoly onto unrelated markets.

This is the exact same case between content creators and last mile owners and that is precisely what will happen from now on. They are creating a concentrated, protected market, and incentivising oligopolic pricing on the part of the utility last-mile owners who want to grow at the expense of content creators.

Now grow some balls and explain what do you mean by "internet transit". ATT has a fuckload of customers and controls whatever comes in or out of its net at will.
