Surely "differentiated services" could include a 'YouTube Channel' -
something they deny in the call?

I've blogged the proposal at http://www.isoc-ny.org/p2/?p=1112

The devil is always in the details. The Network management piece is quite
glossed over and gives a different perception in the summary. You can't
perform the proposed network management piece without deep packet inspection
which violates every users privacy.

In the case of LINX traffic it was bits-per-second; any of: average, 
peak or total per day, because the shape of the daily and weekly curve 
didn't change much even over a period of years.

Growth at LINX was extremely steady (being an aggregate of over a 
hundred operators).

This is Google we're talking about here, though.

Agree with Jessica: you can't say the 'Internet' doubles every x number of
days/amount of time no matter what the number of days or amount of time is.
 The 'Internet' is a series of tubes...hahaha couldn't help it....As we all
know the Internet is a bunch of providers plugged into each other.  Provider
A may see an 10x increase in traffic every month while provider B may not.
 For example, if Google makes a deal with Verizon only Verizon will see a
huge increase in traffic internally and less externally (or vice versa).
 Until Google goes somewhere else!  So the whole 'myth' of Internet doubling
every 100 days to me is something someone (ODell it seems) made up to
appease someone higher in the chain or a government committee that really
doesn't get it.  IE - it's marketing talk to quantify something.  I guess if
all the ISP's in the world provided a central repository bandwidth numbers
they have on their backbone then you could make up some stats about Internet
traffic as a whole.  But without that - it just doesn't make much sense.

Indeed, I used the above instructions to setup IPv6 on my home pfSense

I'm researching a list of some colocation providers I have here to find the most suitable one to provide services for a project I'm working on.  My thought is to send out an informal RFI, which I believe is something others may have done too.  If anyone is able to share, I'd be interested in having a peek at some of these colo-centric RFIs to understand what questions others have asked in the past, as it may help me come up with some questions that I may not have thought of myself.

If an RFI isn't an appropriate means to gather information on such a prospect, I'd certainly like to hear that too.

Thanks in advance.

PS.  To any reader who may be thinking this is an open invitation for a sales email, it's not :)

Pretty much every first contact I see is along the lines of "I have the
following requirements X, Y, and Z. Please provide a quote to suit
these." The format of these may vary wildly.

As far as questions to ask, IPv6 is always on the top of my list but
almost always makes the viable prospects list pretty slim. Power *type*
availability is often overlooked (i.e. 208 volts or three-phase) until
the fateful day you need more than single phase 120 to run something and
the colo says oops not available.

traffic is not a component of capacity.  capicity is an upper bound on
traffic.
