Netflix vs Comcast : WHO WILL PREVAIL???
Netflix Partner Says Comcast ‘Toll’ Threatens Online Video Delivery (NY Times)
Level 3 Communications, a central partner in the Netflix online movie service, accused Comcast on Monday of charging a new fee that puts
Internet video companies at a competitive disadvantage.
Level 3 Communications, a central partner in the Netflix online movie service, accused Comcast on Monday of charging a new fee that puts
Internet video companies at a competitive disadvantage.
Level 3, which helps to deliver Netflix’s streaming movies, said Comcast had effectively erected a tollbooth that “threatens the open Internet,” and indicated that it would seek government intervention.
Comcast quickly denied that the clash had anything to do with network
neutrality, instead calling it “a simple commercial dispute.”
The dispute highlighted the growing importance of Internet video delivery — an area that some people say needs to be monitored more closely by regulators. Net neutrality, which posits that Internet
traffic should be free of any interference from network operators like
Comcast, is thought to be on the December agenda of the Federal
Communications Commission.
“With this action, Comcast demonstrates the risk of a ‘closed’ Internet, where a retail broadband Internet access provider decides whether and how their subscribers interact with content,” Thomas C.
Stortz, the chief legal officer for Level 3, said in a statement
Monday.

Instead of finding new and ingenious ways of delivering content consumers want, the studios would rather beat down those competitors that are doing so.

Adapt or die, morans.
EDIT: Hold up. I thought the studios just stated a month or so ago that the rental delays were already highly successful in terms of new revenue for them.
Were...they...LYING?!?!?

I hope they were I really still don't think I was wrong that it was a stupid idea that wasn't going to work.

I think it worked, they just want something else to work too. They're even discussing extending the delay even longer than 28 days.

Make it so.
I shall be in private conference on holodeck 5 with Counselor Troi until one of us starts to bleed. At that point, send Dr. Crusher with a full complement of "medical" supplies.
