Enjoy.

Been discussed.

He's obviously wrong about some things. No one does anything without getting paid. But he is kinda right in some ways too.

Lots of us actually do lots of things without getting paid.

We also do some things for which we get paid.

Mea culpa! You are (most obviously) correct.

I meant to say "no one passes a packet without getting paid", specifically in response to his passing the beer in the stadium analogy.

While it is true there are a few packets passed without payment, I'm pretty sure it's 0% of the total, to several decimal places.

Thank you for pointing out my error.

Hurricane Electric offers free IPv6 transit to virtually anyone. We also provide IPv4 transit for free to a number of non-profit and
community benefit organizations.

While it is true there are a few packets passed without payment, I'm pretty sure it's 0% of the total, to several decimal places.

Maybe 2 or 3 decimal places, but, I honestly don't have the exact statistic.
