Is it possible to switch to another ISP?
Not providing IPv6 in 2022 is stone age. IPv6 is publicly routed for
more than 10 years and standardized since the end of the 90s.

I really do envy you, sir: countries in Europe enjoyed the benefits of
ISDN service while "Mother Bell" was refusing to offer it in the U.S.,
and the citizens of the European Union Could have ADSL circuits which
were adapted to work with ISDN, instead of in place of it, as was the
custom here in this country.
By the way, there are no alternative to the "new" owners of the Cable
TV franchise here in my town: Frontier Communications, which I thought
was the ILEC in this area, says they don't serve my neighborhood.
Spectrum, Viasat, and TDS, ditto. There's a microwave-based ISP in
Asheville, NC, but I'm not on a line-of-sight to any of their access
points up here in the hills. It's a shame: they've helped out my ham
radio club with preparations for emergency communicaitons, and I'd be
happy to have their transceiver on one of my towers, but I've got too
many hills in the way.

Subject: [telecom] California Passes Law to Protect Children's Data Online
Wednesday, September 21, 2022
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Age-Appropriate
Design Code Act (the Act) into law last week. This new law will
require those online service providers likely to be accessed by
children under 18 years old to comply with heightened privacy
requirements, including incorporating privacy-by-default and
privacy-by-design into their products. The 18-year age threshold for
defining a child online is several years higher than the federal
standard set by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which
protects data collected from online users under 13. The bulk of the
new bill requires online service providers to complete a Data
Protection Impact Assessment for any online service, product, or
feature likely to be accessed by children. The bill additionally
prohibits businesses from using children's data for any purpose other
than the reason for which it was originally collected and requires
them to prioritize children's well-being over business considerations.

Subject: RE: [telecom] ISP and CDN Peering
Following up on this, here's another article on who pays whom for
transporting bits.
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/09/google-fights-latest-attempt-to-have-big-tech-pay-for-isps-network-upgrades/
I ASSUME that Google, Netflix, etc. are paying SOMEONE for
interconnection. That someone is probably paying others for
interconnection (especially if traffic is severely unbalanced). The
charges by each of these someones for interconnection seem like they
should cover the cost to that carrier. Having Netflix pay Cox (my local
ISP) for the last mile delivery or charging a tax on digital advertising
to cover telecom costs seems convoluted. It seems that carriage charges
should be handled by interconnection fees and end user fees.
Does anyone know the details of how Netflix (for example) gets their
content to me and who they pay?
