Even if it was a 2400% increase in netflix viewership for Squid Games, the ISPs have cache boxes for Netflix's content. It rarely comes from upstream. Most of them can easily get a settlement free interconnect if they're that big. Okay Netflix doesn't have a peering point in South Korea, so it might require getting a 10G pipe to a neighbouring country for a peering point.

Netflix is already offering ISPs plenty of solutions to alleviate their bandwidth problem. OCA are easy enough to deploy and name an ISP that doesn't have a presence in a major peering point to setup SFI.
If the ISPs are trying to get Netflix to pay because the last mile is congested, that's their own problem. They can choke on it.

Debian, OpenSUSE, Arch, Gentoo and Grml Merge 117

Posted by Soulskill from the simplifying-and-streamlining dept.
tomhudson writes "debian, arch linux, opensuse, grml, and gentoo are merging to create a new distro: 'We are to announce the birth of the Canterbury distribution. Canterbury is a merge of the efforts of the community formerly known as Debian, Gentoo, Grml, openSUSE and Arch Linux to produce a really unified effort and be able to stand up in a combined effort against operating systems, to show off that the Free Software community is actually able to work together for a common instead of creating more diversity. Canterbury will be as technologically simple as Arch, as stable as Debian, malleable as Gentoo, have a solid Live framework as Grml, and be as open minded as openSUSE.' Arch Linux developer Pierre Schmitz explained: 'Arch Linux has always been about keeping its as simple as possible. Combining efforts into one single distribution will dramatically reduce complexity for developers, users and of course upstream . Canterbury will be the next evolutionary step of Linux distributions.' This will without a doubt put on Ubuntu."

FBI Defend Raids On Texas Datacenter 115

Posted by timothy from the we're-from-the-govt-and-we're-here-to-help dept.
Aryden writes "Wired Reports: 'The FBI on Tuesday defended its raids on at least two data centers in Texas, in which agents carted out equipment and disrupted service to hundreds of businesses. The raids were part of an investigation prompted by complaints from AT&T and Verizon about unpaid bills allegedly owed by some data center customers, according to court records. One data center owner charges that the telecoms are using the FBI to collect debts that should be resolved in civil court. But on Tuesday, an FBI spokesman disputed that charge.'"
