This confuses me.

NTT & AT&T have peering congestion. This is almost certainly a <hardware | fiber | political | financial> problem. Yet you think this is Google’s fault by advocating for an open protocol which has objective benefits to end users? What am I missing?

And precisely how do you "side-step the protocol stack" when QUIC is literally an IETF RFC? Starting to wonder if you only use TCP version 1….
