Interesting point. Though with how large comcast is and howmuch it does, it's hard to say it's only cable. It's about online access to content being restricted by devices. While most people just think of net neutrality as the internet providers not blocking or messing with speeds of content to end usesers. The flip side to that is content providers not being able to lock out certain devices. I don't think people should be heald hostage because comcast wants to tripple dip. It's bad enough they dip twice. That's why I'd like them regulated like utilities. Imagine power companies tripple dipping. You pay for your power. The companies that make the most energy get charged extra for the privalege of selling it to you, and all the manufacturers of devices in your home might need to pay so that your power company doesn't decide to block them from working in your home. |
What is your opinion on HBO and Apple's agreement? HBO is providing a standalone subscription only for Apple devices. Does that violate net-neutrality?
