Home | Re: I pick data Well, technically, in cable systems (most of them) that still have analog channels, some of those channels are on analog too, like ESPN, ESPN2, MTV, VH1... so those right there would free up 4 channels on their own. | |

Cause I know, we have most of those on analog, except for the music channels, which are on digital. | |

| Re: I pick data dear cable company,
please take the bandwidth from HGTV, all the religion channels, all the business channels (CNBC, etc.) and all the shopping channels and add it to my broadband cap.
thnx Why would they want to?
Dave Burnstein's right; this is policy is clearly designed to prevent video downloading from cannabolizing Frontier's own video offerings. They want you to buy premium TV content from them, not off the internet.
Which, as a private company, they're perfectly entitled to do, so long as they disclose the caps. If you don't like it, you can move to an area served by a different provider - isn't that want you guys always say? | |

| Re: I pick data Sounds like a bit like a conflict of interest.. are they a common carrier ISP or are they a content provider?
Both you say? Then we should be talking about a neutral third-party bandwidth provider, free of all this bullshit.

The minute a company provides internet access, but creates disincentive to another companies similar product via that access, is engaged in anti competitive behavior and should be punished as such. This is precisely why we need the ISP to be a "dumb pipe". To provide internet access. Let the media companies compete on their own merits and products.
