Clearly… imagine you have an allowance of say 100€ a month managed by ISPs and all of that would be spread across all used services based on usage. Internet services PAYU.
That would drive interesting changes in the landscape for sure.
And how retributions would be shared between the various layers and ecosystems.
Also would likely kill all new entrants and innovation. Plus some legit use cases for advertising (goodbye marketplace I guess?).
We’ll see this would be a use case for blockchain and such so that every participant in the flow gets it’s bit in exchange of the bytes they serve.
So that the isp doesn’t act like an even worse dpi point indeed.
I’m not saying it’s desirable. Just a fun thought experiment.
Just maybe this would be a way to finance content creators with more transparency and it would probably cut YouTube and the likes of it from their dominant position.
