Re: jon stewart on net neturality

That man could not have sounded more confused...

"Ten movies streaming across that, that, internet, and what happens to your own personal internet? I... just the other day got internet, was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday. Why?"

Priceless, but I was lucky enough to see it live. ^^

Cablevision-Fox dispute drags on, drives Giants fans to local pubs | poughkeepsiejournal.com | Poughkeepsie Journal

Just adding some context is all.

Net Neutrality is about preventing the provider like Cablevision from telling the user what the user can or can't access. What its not about is telling the owner of News Corp and an internet business what they can and can't do with a service they have a stake in. What Newscorp seems to be doing is shutting people out to make them bitch at Cablevision even more to get the matter resolved.

I don't think that's ethical, in fact, you'd think News Corp would only stand to benefit by still providing it to Hulu users rather than resort to a blatant strongarm tactic, but what are you supposed to do when some old senile fucker like Rupert Murdoch is pulling the strings? He's a businessman, he sees the world in terms of money.

So does Cablevision. Personally, I'd be more worried about them anyway, since its the cable companies that have been in a panic to control what their customers have access to. Cable providers don't like Hulu, Netflix, Skype or anything that takes away from the outdated services they provide.

The growing pains of the internet and business are far from over, even the video game industry is quaking in their boots and taking it out on the consumer rather than properly adapting. Seriously, its been the same reaction in ever corner of industry. First it was the music industry and MP3s, then cable companies over all kinds of. Now news outlets are panicking because we can just watch any video, listen to any radio broadcast or read any bit of news over the internet and not pay for it.

Of course, they only freak out now because subscriptions are starting to dwindle in print and cable.
