Apparently the same people that run/moderate this website are directly related (or involved) with the people that run/own the ISP's invoking this greedy strategy.
For me, I think it's a lack of information about the whole picture of this industry and how it works which is responsible for some of the naive reporting I've been reading these last few days. There are a lot of puzzle pieces missing. However, I do agree that the apparent acceptance of the premise by the site owner and agreeing to argue on the cable industry's playing field is a fundamental mistake and bad judgment call. It's exactly what the industry needs to forward its argument, and they will absolutely use the acceptance of the need for a cap as a strong justification for their position. After all, "even the 'crazed blogger sites' understand there needs to be a cap."
I'm willing at this point to try and educate instead of simply calling someone a shill, but with a few more editorials along the lines of what I've read these past few days, and I'd join a chorus of folks suggesting perhaps it's time to consider a different home to advocate for the consumer's position, because that does not currently get the same exposure as front page headlines on this site.
But the time we have to resist these things is short, so at some point people either have to get on or off the bus. |
