Level 3 Communications goes after AT & T Inc., after the giant accused telecom provider spin political in its dispute with Comcast.
In a message posted on the Blog last week business policy, Bob Quinn AT & t, dealing with issues of federal regulation, wrote that "spin is King and Queen" when it comes to application level 3 that Comcast violated rules terminating its agreement Exchange net neutrality movement with the service provider.
"Those who continue to try, deliberately or inadvertently, maintain that the disagreement of level 3 and Comcast is 'just a peering dispute' rather than a blatant attempt by Comcast to take advantage of a dominant position in the Internet residential market access missing the point, any how loudly and how often they are trying to hijack this central question" said level 3 in a statement in response to the post of blog.
Dr Quinn said in his post fight between level 3 and Comcast is simple dispute peering agreement, referring to Regulation free arrangements high-level service providers have among themselves to Exchange traffic. These agreements usually exist between companies who share about the same amount of traffic. But after that early circulation of level 3 with Comcast reports have been defined on the arrow of two to one in five-in-one, Comcast insisted on being paid.
Level 3 loaded that Comcast was trying to impose a toll on internet traffic and violating the concept of neutrality of the network, the idea that companies would not have the power to determine which internet services chooses to provide its consumers based on their corporate interests.
Dr Quinn also means level 3 is hypocritical taking issue with the decision of Comcast, citing a press release in 2005, where the level 3 says completed its peering with Cogent Communications internet services provider arrangement. The release stated: "without paying, cogent used much more level 3 network, much more time, than the reverse." Based on our review, we decided that it was unfair for us to be subsidizing the Affairs of cogent. »
"Regardless of how the dispute finally gets resolved, it is definitely not a net neutrality issue, said Mr. Quinn." "" Comcast wants simply to be compensated for the additional traffic volume level 3 is for Comcast, that Comcast has to offer to its customers. Comcast occupy this traffic is video or music or email or web pages. Therefore, it really has nothing to do with the neutrality of the network despite the fact that level 3 and Free Press wants to raise the volume level to eleven. »
In his statement, level 3 said that traffic reports are only a means to determine the relationship between the two providers. Level 3 argued it is forced to add as much ability to Comcast to meet the growth in traffic.
""A"peering dispute ' is clearly not the question, rather, level 3 and many expert commentators and industry believe that Comcast wants to create a precedent allowing them to require a"tax"capability added to their"last mile"network wired Internet access," said the statement. "This is at the heart of the matter since Comcast seeks to take advantage of exclusive access to its customers Internet access with."
