Comcast is going about it in a way that consumers won't understand. I've seen a lot of people expecting things like tiered pricing (think the "YouTube package"), but this is much more dangerous.
Comcast is going to isolate the content upstream so that consumers won't ever know that there was other content accessible, just like they don't know about the TV channels that Comcast doesn't carry.
- Benjo 16y agoComcast isn't being overt about it, but it's easy enough to explain that Comcast is making things more expensive for Netflix. It doesn't take much for consumers to understand the conflict of interest between those two entities. Of course, you can frame this as either the correct operation of the free market, or as an example of why net neutrality is critical to the free market.
