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? 

 

I think it's the result of comcast's behavior. I'm all for content providers cutting out the middle man. People being able to get HBO without a cable subscription is awsome. So in one way it excemplifies net nutrality. The fact that it's only avalable to people with at least one apple device bothers me were it to be a long term deal I'd also feel outraged, but it's not. One thing I read says it's a three month exclusive, Netflix was exclusive to the 360 for 1 year, then another year where a disk was required.
