Role of Public and Private Exchanges
Role of Public and Private Exchanges
One of the myths about the Internet is that it's an open data exchange. In this popular mythology, the Internet is the equivalent of an egalitarian Athenian forum, where every server has equal standing, and every router shares the burden of transmitting data from place to place. Sounds utopian, doesn't it? Too bad it's a lie.
