[NNagain] The Verge: The quiet plan to make the internet feel faster

[Frantisek Borsik]

…and I’m adding NN again, because:

No matter which evil end game is actually the one, it will create a quite a
havoc.

Seeing, for example Netflix, participating in L4S trail (they said it was
for their cloud gaming, while at IETF 118) is in my mind the same like
seeing a capitalist, an entrepreneur selling a rope to a bloodthirsty
communist that want to create a noose to hang him on it :-) but if one
don’t see/hear evil…there is no hope.


All the best,

Frank
