Not easily, and almost all situations where you can do so involve one or more intermediaries.

It's 10 years in, I think we can call it a failure now.

That would require an active intermediary, but yes, it should be possible.

Ime you can when you apply some creative negotiation coupled with a multi-million $ spends. Usually to their peered (“partner”) networks though not generic transit

It's definitely possible, but I don't think you can do it in the span of several years.

yyyk | karma 4231 | avg karma 2.34 · | 2020-08-28 23:41:30+00:00

Yes, that would be possible. However, it is difficult to get multiple parties to cooperate and coordinate on an expensive for a long time. It requires a high degree of trust, or some form of legal instrument. Trust isn't very much around these days, maybe some clever legal instrument could have done it?

Depending on your ability to share state between these agents it could very well be impossible. It depends on other factors.

tpoacher | karma 3384 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2023-05-26 07:45:26

Yes. That it's both easy and possible to do so, and the alternatives are not.

I was responding to indicate that it has been done before, not saying that it can't ever be done successfully.

pjmlp | karma 109153 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2021-07-28 12:57:31

It is possible, but I doubt it will gain any major adoption.

yunohn | karma 3181 | avg karma 1.55 · | 2022-08-23 08:32:50

It is possible, but it isn’t very feasible right now. Maybe in the future?

Samels | karma 1 | avg karma 0.5 · | 2012-12-15 18:14:02

I would say no, it is not possible.

npteljes | karma 4299 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2022-02-19 05:38:45

Nope, it can't. As long as you use tech, it's a risk management situation, and a cat and mouse game.

justin66 | karma 13227 | avg karma 2.6 · | 2017-03-07 17:02:29+00:00

It has successfully been done in the past, so yes, you could do that.

kleiba | karma 8953 | avg karma 3.49 · | 2021-10-18 12:40:33

Of course it can be done. It has been many times.

kristopolous | karma 15012 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2021-05-11 14:13:42+00:00

It could, but not in the hands of money.

umanwizard | karma 14757 | avg karma 2.5 · | 2016-11-21 04:09:28+00:00

Can it? What's your plan for implementing this?

s1artibartfast | karma 14516 | avg karma 1.44 · | 2024-01-10 16:54:30

I think this is an issue of "can" in the "technically possible" vs "realistically possible".

There are lots of people who have done exactly what you said, and others that never became terminally online, yet real-world re-adoption has been slow.

Sure, but perhaps not through legitimate channels.

wahahah | karma 102 | avg karma 2.04 · | 2023-06-02 05:25:06

AFAIK it's generally not a thing because of fraud / lack of metribility.

mikeklaas | karma 1412 | avg karma 3.56 · | 2010-12-17 19:33:07+00:00

It's possible, but would take years at the level of rate limiting they do.
