A 18 wheel Semi, gets on the tollway. It is caring, 200,000.00 worth of product. Another identical truck gets on. It is caring, 20,000.00 worth of product. They each pay a 5.00 toll.
A Prius gets on, and goes to the Same Place, It is carrying nothing. It pays a 1.00 toll.
The tolls are biased of the Size of the car/truck, not why, they are driving that road.
Now, once on, the people in the truck/s or car. can buy a 1.00 or 2.00 or 3.00 burger. They Choose where to stop.
They can travel, fast or slow. (And fast/slow, is more or less cost) It is a choice.
Now in a Toll Road, the toll is collected by the person who builds the road.
If the, ’Toll Road’, was the Internet/WWW, who is collecting the Toll?
Know that getting on that road, is NOT, free. (Never has been, never will be)
“Oh but I can go the the Coffee Shop or Library, and get on for Free” (Just what a, ’Snowflake’ would say) Yep, Library has Wi-Fi, and gives out the password to use it. And who, pays taxes to the Town/Country/State, who pays the Library, to pay the entity that requires a fee to connect.
Same as a coffee shop, Airport, bar, etc. The amount you pay, for that thing, HAS, the price, that place pays, built in.
On the, Internet/WWW, who, is collecting the Toll?
Someone has some big bucks. They buy a building, which has fiber-optic cable to the Phone building. They buy a bunch of servers. Hire a bunch of computer experts. And then put up adds, call their new place the, ‘Cloud’. And offer to anyone who want’s, Storage of Anything they want. For a price, depending on, how much and for how long.
Who would that company pay? How much ? Would it depend on how big it is? Or the value of the load it carries?
The, ‘Dark Web’. Who pays who, (and how), for that ?
Who actually Owns the WWW - Internet ? Not the truck, not the maker of the truck, not the company that owns the truck, not the tires on the truck, not the fuel the truck uses, not the product the truck is carrying, not the maker of the product, etc, etc, etc,
