Car manufacturer: Third Party content provider
Car = content
Driver = subscriber/User
Toll Road = iNET Pipe
Bellsouth, AT&T: "We're building a bigger toll road, AND we want to become a car manufacturer. We think its unfair that these other car manufacturers have cars traveling on our toll road without paying us money...and this situation is a threat to our wanting to become a car manufacturer. Never mind the fact that we charge the Driver of these cars a good chunk of change to use our tollway, because that is irrelevant.
Our new toll road is going to be 40 lanes wide, and because it cost us alot of money to build this new toll road, but more specifically, because we want to become a car manufacturer, we want to relegate Drivers who's Car manufacturer doesn't pay us tribute, to only be able to use 10 of the toll road lanes. We are doing this because our current efforts as a car manufacturer producing cars is very lackluster. Nobody wants to buy a 150HP car from us when they can go to another car manufacturer and buy a 200-500HP car for the same price, or in some cases, be able to get the car for free! Its an outrage! We wont be able to force the Drivers to use our cars if we allow the other car manufacturers to continue to be able to sell their cars to the Drivers, and not pay use tribute money that gets passed on to the Driver.
So this is the new plan we want: We want to build out new 40lane toll road. And of course we're going to charge the Driver an arm and a leg. Then, we're gonna charge the other car manufacturers tribute money to be able to use the reserved 30 lanes of the toll road, because if they want the Drivers to have a good driving experience, then the Drivers will need to drive the car on the reserved 30 lanes, where we can "guarantee" the quality of the experience, instead of being relegated to the 10 lanes. If the other car manufacturers refuse to pay tribute, then the Driver can only use their cars on the other 10 lanes...and we can't "guarantee" the driving experience once on those 10 lanes.
Also, this is why we're against the building of independant building of tollroads, because those tollroads could possibly offer just as good or a better driving experience, and possible lower fees for the Driver, and we just can't have that."
I think that sums it up the best. |
