| >>- Zero guarantees whatsoever on bandwidth and latency. > Technically impossible to give such a guarantee. Not at all. You pick the right oversubscription ratios, monitor the network and give guarantees on the 95%/99% percentiles. It's done in datacenters all the time. >>- Little guarantees against traffic inspection, DNS sniffing & so on. > How do you guarantee something like this? Let anybody in the datacenters...? Just like in many other fields: external verification, rewards for employee and customers reporting malpractices and so on. Also, encourage your customers to use DNS over HTTPS, VPNs, Tor instead of saying nothing or even discouraging it. >>- Sharing your uplink with a neighbor can be prohibited by contract. > That's normal, otherwise they'd lose tons of money. That's not an argument. The large majority of goods and services in existence can be shared and, very often, even re-sold and there are specific laws against contracts for exclusive use. It's up to the ISPs to find ways to bill people accordingly (and it's easy to look at what carriers and datacenters ISP do...). |
