704: Faschtech

Lawful Content and the End of Peering

The new FCC rules introduce the term "lawful content," which the hosts suggest could allow for government-mandated blocking of specific IP addresses or services like Pirate Bay. The ban on "paid prioritization" and "consideration" may disrupt existing peering arrangements where companies like Netflix or Google place servers within ISP facilities. This regulatory shift is compared to the "Carterphone" decision, though the hosts argue the comparison is technically flawed and intended to confuse the public.
