To clarify, you are asking whether anyone has considered introducing a telco-style 'common carriage' requirement for media companies; is that right?

- xhkkffbf 2y agoYes. Why not? If Netflix thinks it's so great for telcos, why shouldn't Netflix lead the way and show us how it's done? They can have an open system for everyone who wants a movie deal. Everyone gets the same terms. They can be paid per minute that someone watches.
- SR2Z 2y agoThe point that guy is making is that we DID have regulations to control broadcast content, and it sucked.
- seabass-labrax 2y agoAs it happens I was just curious, not trying to make a particular point :) Although I will mention that before the quasi-DMCA takedown scheme, YouTube was rapidly becoming a 'common carrier' of sorts for video - completely unregulated, of course, but offering standard advertising rates and almost no editorial restrictions.
