[e2e] Free Internet & IPv6

[Jon Crowcroft]

poor people pay with their time to get money and 
rich people pay with their money to get time...

poor people may tolerate adverts 
and their eyeball time so as they don't have to
spend money subscribing to go faster DSL 
while rich people will subscribe to ad free services...

very few people use ToR really or install ad blocking s/w on their
smart phones yet - you're right though, if we did blanket adverts
more people would

the real problem wth my proposal is that the layer violation
represents a privacy invasion, that crosses two domains which have
different legal and regulatory controls w.r.t privacy - the IP
layer guys want to keep whatever they believe to be common carrier
status - so looking in packets is bad news - attempts by ISPs to
do this for comercial gain has been defeated legally (c.f. cases
in the UK with phorm)

however, RE-ECN is end-to-end, so the point here is that
congestion exposure (ISPs revealing where one users traffic is
incurring cost to other users) is revealed to both ends- this is
where advertising already happens (see our upcoming IMC paper on
mobile advertising ecosystem)  - having the poorer user accept
adverts in exchange for free network (e.g. on congested 3G/4G
links) would be perfectly feasible  without the 
cross layer 
cross lawyer
messup alluded to above

people avoiding it via ToR or IP AdBlock
would just get packet drop, the way people who ignore ECN get
so their mileage will vary, downwoods (downwards) only

the game theory of this is all played out in bob briscoe's fine
phd thesis if you want a good read...
