What do the ISPs gain from a deal like this?
- homunculus 15y agoCheaper access to content?
- mrud 15y agoThey can get rid of high bandwidth users
- greenyoda 15y agoSome of the big ISPs are also in the business of producing and/or delivering copyrighted content. For example, Time Warner, which provides internet service over their cable TV network, owns many media assets, including HBO. Verizon provides cable TV over their FIOS (fiber optic) network, so they'd much rather have you pay to subscribe to programming over their network than download movies via BitTorrent.
