BBC Six Music will, though. On the other hand, BBC Six Music doesn't have advertisers to please.

Hemorrhaging customers to who, exactly? When you have one or perhaps two ISPs, both throttling Netflix/FB/Instagram, where do you run to? The ISPs know it. They know Netflix/FB/Instagram will capitulate and pay. They know they can use it to prevent new, competing ISPs from arising (they can use the Netflix/FB/Instagram payments to subsidise domestic connections for long enough to crush any potential new startup, who doesn't have the clout to get Netflix/FB/Instagram to subsidise them).

API = Application Programming Interface. Basically a software abstraction layer so that you can do something with some system from another piece of software. The RESTful API is a common type of API used on the internet.

I guess the APIs you're inspecting are not software, then. What does API stand for in the work you do?

I suspect the "every nation working together" is much harder than the actual fusion. Look at ITER, a significant amount of time was wasted bickering over which country it should be built in (probably the least important part of the project), with countries flouncing out then coming back.

I spent over 2 weeks in Wordsley Hospital near Birmingham. Medical treatment: excellent. Food: appalling.
