Why would Riot give this network to competitors? Only to make money. If that price gets too high. You, as s small indie developer, have just been driven out of the market.

That's the logic of the above post. The answer is NEITHER "outsource it" NOR "do it yourself". Instead, if the public offering is good enough, you dont need either option. That's how the internet has worked and grown so far.

Right, so you want to outlaw networks like those of Google and Riot?

Not sure I can get on board with that, but it would level the playing field.

This isn't me, this is the whole concept of net neutrality - the internet is a utility where all access is equal access, at least in terms of priority. (obviously we have rate limiting and people generally don't have protests about that - it's priority that is a problem)

Many of the complaints in the reaction to the article is that the article is using the language of net neutrality to argue for the opposite (pay for access, which includes the ability to pay more for privileged access).
