1 edit | What a waste
Who would want to waste their upload minutes on up'ing videos to Utube when you can do it on your computer for free?

Save your money; use cellphones for talking
Maybe it's just me, but I have no interest in watching TV on a 3" screen. For that I have a widescreen TV at home. Or if it is some short news clip on the internet, on my 19" widescreen PC monitor. I'll stick to talking on my cellphone and leave it at that.

Schererville, IN | Data plan?
Wouldn't it just be better to get an unlimited limited data plan and just surf to youTube directly? Or are phones crippled from viewing content through a browser? |

| "walled garden" means we NEED Net Neutrality
"nstead of letting you use the data service you already pay for to find and watch video from any site that works with your phone, these companies would rather "upsell" you on packages"
If that's not the perfect argument for the need for net neutrality, I don't know what is. Verizon is selling you data access, but they are charging MORE for you to access utube. Once the net neutrality legislation is passed, Verizon won't be able to charge a 'premium' to let users USE THEIR SERVICE. Verizon is a DATA SERVICE, and verizon has no right to decide WHAT data is transmitted over the network. Any attempt to regulate the content of a data stream is at least a privacy violation, and at most a violation of human rights. If you pay for internet access, it's yours to use as YOU SEE FIT. No company has the right to tell you what you can or cannot see on the internet. Verizon is shooting itself in the head with this insane idea, and giving tons of ammo to all the advocates of net neutrality.

Re: Data plan?
Well, remember...Verizon Wireless is the company that rides the fine line of what exactly "unlimited" data plan. I guess that's what you are implying by saying an unlimited limited data plan 
Me personally, I feel that it's a stupid idea if you aren't supposed to use their broadband service (at $80/month) for anything other than general surfing and email.
Does this mean they've realized they've made a mistake, or did they make another mistake by saying that downloading 30GB of video service over VCast from YouTube is okay; but, if you pay for our mobile nationalaccess broadband, you can only download 1GB per month? |

Start a website where people can post for free about a lot of things and then use something like Google AdSense to make a profit.
Simply brillant!

and verizon has no right to decide WHAT data is transmitted over the network. Any attempt to regulate the content of a data stream is at least a privacy violation, and at most a violation of human rights.
what about all them anti kiddie porn people ? would argue otherwise when coming to adu;t content
Any attempt to regulate the content of a data stream is at least a privacy violation
what about large isp throttleing p2p traffic ? does it apply there ? most ip s address are logged does it apply there ?
and at most a violation of human rights
how does internet acess = human rights ? lost on that one

Re: "walled garden" means we NEED Net Neutrality
Ok, you guys didn't read the article. They are not doing something that should make you scream for Net Neutrality. They are not charging you extra from accessing YouTube via the EVDO service. They are charging extra for accessing YouTube via the VCast service. Two completely different services. All of these comments are based upon a bad assumption. |
