We’re seeing unprecedented interest in the debate around whose responsibility it is to upgrade the Internet to handle current and impending demand. The carriers have expressed their positions (Verizon<\/a>, Comcast<\/a>, AT&T<\/a>), as have intermediate content providers (e.g., Cogent<\/a>, Level3<\/a>), and large content providers such as Netflix<\/a>.

    Stay tuned, much more to say here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
