[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] It's more than just that. Let's say that BellSouth offers a package of "gold priority" to websites, that they will have better load times, fewer page errors, not as many problems with access. Let's say that, Oh, TrekBBS decides it's a good idea & signs on; conversely, poor jobless Charlie here can't afford the package & doesn't much like the potential for stratification it holds. Now you're a BellSouth customer looking for a sci-fi board. You wander through a bunch & find that TrekBBS shows up loud & clear, like sitting next to a radio transmitter. You come to flare but it's slower, it lags, images don't load, bandwidth seems compressed than the other. Eventually, you just give up & never come here again. Fewer people show up & fianlly the website dies. It's WCS to be sure, but imagine that same scenario for the small internet business as well as no-fee sites & you get the general stink of it.
