Title
Capacity expansion of neutral ISPs via content provider participation: The bargaining edge
Abstract
Many Internet service providers (ISPs) operate under network neutrality regulations that forbid differential QoS or differential pricing. This leads to lower profitability for ISPs. However, increasingly bandwidth-hungry content is making the consumers demand significantly improved ISP infrastructure. With the risk of poor consumer experience on them, ISPs have to invest in their infrastructure, but with limited scope for monetization. Hence, they are asking content providers (CPs) to contribute towards ISP capacity expansion. In this paper, we explore network neutral capacity expansion sponsored by voluntary contributions from CPs.
