Re: This Must Be Stopped

i will just cut and paste my theory from other reports on this.

Disney(the parent of ESPN) will require ESPN360 to be part of the next contract revision for their TV channels. seeing how the big ISPs where already cable or are now cable providers.

basicly they will tell Comcast for example that if you want to carry our cable channels you must also add ESPN360 to your Internet service.

Well they could add ESPN360 to eveyone's internet service NOW if they didn't wall it off. I think what you mean is that they must offer it and PAY for it.

Any ISPs that make these kinds of deal then those websites should NOT count against any caps.

IF they do not count against your caps, I think they would get into net neutrality territory. This another one of those situations of forcing people to pay for stuff they do not want(there are many examples already, as you know).

As far as Frontier goes, no it won't count against your caps. Very definitely into net netrality territory. And they don't seem to care. . .
