On the plus side, ISPās slowing down fair.org Counterspin and Democracy Now and other leftwing sites will radicalize more people on the left whoāve become vastly too complacent over the years.
Also hacking the 1%'s faster Internet and sending it to a crawl will be a fun past time for hacktivists, thatās for sure. DDoS attacks will be launched daily on unprecedented levels. Keep it up, FCCā¦ For Cable Companies?
Personally, I think this is a fight for advertising revenue. Every site that wants to rake in serious ad dollars is going to need to present it in video or similar formats that require high speed Internet. If these sites are unwilling to āshareā this revenue with the ISPs, theyāll be relegated to the slow lane where major advertisements will be impossible and so will their ad money dry up.
I donāt think itās even that complicated. Itās just bald-faced greed enabled by what is effectively a monopoly in most areas.
As ISP customers weāre paying for bandwidth.But the major ISPs figure since they have everyone over a barrel why not charge the providers of the content too.
makes me kinda wish loose source routing didnāt go by the wayside (well, it was sort of a monstrosity), so you could trombone your traffic off of āpreferredā or āun-meteredā hosts. not that i would do anything remotely that unethicalā¦
āTromboneā is a verb now?
Ah, those wacky IT guys
