If so, that makes it a lot easier!). I did some quick sums, and shoving that into Amazon Glacier (80TB/month growth) would be growing at $800/month^2 - so once you hit the 2 years retention requirement, you're holding at 1.9PB of storage (!@#!#!), and paying $19k/month for that storage.

delivered inside the same building, which reads to me that provided you're only supplying internet services inside of Datacenters (which most hosting/colo/dedi/vds companies do), you're not providing carriage services, and thus aren't affected by this bill?<u></u><u></u></p>

to the opposite IP (which arguably requires transmission by electromagnetic energy). Then again, IP doesn't deal with electromagnetic radiation, so perhaps not, but I wouldn't think this a strong argument.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, if the communication is viewed as from the IP to the MAC, then the communication is local and there is no transmission via electromagnetic energy (except from what is local to the NIC chipset). Assuming this interpretation, the IP<>IP conversation
would be 'content' of the MAC<>IP communication, and still remains outside the bill.<u></u><u></u></p>
