Are US ISPs being paid to do this by the entertainment industry? If so, is there any transparency on this?
Why would the ISPs choose to do this with no legal requirement for it and strong restrictions in how they can achieve this now or in future any infrastructure business around it due to net neutrality and other regulator issues? This would directly alienate their own broadband customers...
- wmf 15y agoIt looks like the ISPs are actually paying half the cost of the system. The mind boggles. Everybody in the thread please read the MOU; it's probably totally different than you think: http://www.copyrightinformation.org/sites/default/files/Momorandum%20of%20Understanding.pdf http://www.copyrightinformation.org/sites/default/files/Momo...
- jostmey 15y agoActually, the ISPs have incentive to play along! Under these rules, the ISPs will be able to throttle back peoples internet connections, which will save the ISPs money.
- angrycoder 15y agoMany ISPs in the US are the entertainment industry. My ISP is comcast, which not only owns their own TV networks and sports teams, they just bought NBC. Same thing with Time Warner.
