| What can we do about this??? Is it really the internet when the isp censor the content. It seems to me that ips are not offering the internet any more they are offering a limited service to what they want you to see/use.... I know that the EULA states they can do what ever they want. Why are we saying ok to this? All over I read about this type of action, bit torrent, gnutella... being blocked now I may have to pay 10 bucks more to use Vonage wtf. |

Smithtown, NY | The ISP isn't truly sensoring the content. If they wanted to sensor content they'd get rid of almost every kind of P2P traffic out there and save themselves money on all the upgrades. But then everyone would complain. You don't have to pay 10$ to use Vonage, you just won't get the optional QoS treatment that may help you.

Now the infrastructure owners are getting into the content biz and the bad planning is coming home to roost. Nations that have publicly owned pipes have a much healthier model: all content/services competitors exist on a level field and the infrastructure owner has no incentive to corrupt the carriage of one content player over another.
The US and other lightly-regulated private infrastructures have horrid geographical build-out realities with nobody getting economies of scale, resulting in messy consolidations, resulting in private monopolies that can - and will - prioritize their service packets over those of competitors. Built-in competition killer. Stupid. |
