In the "early internet", let's call that prior to 1990, the hierarchy wasn't price etc, it was:
During the pre-1990's, I doubt any of the Internet "founders" were thinking of how to pay for networks other than asking for more grant money. ARPA and friends paid the bills, and asked for things like TOS/COS long before DiffServ because the military likes to prioritize things for all sorts of reasons besides price.
And let's not forget that the article which came up with the title of this thread equates IETF with "Internet Founders" and is talking about the 1990s and the introduction of diffserv. --Michael Dillon
