Time Warner Cable doesn't like online video

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The real reason behind Time Warner's insanely low caps was to kill online video (or at least make money off of it via overage fees). If they buy Joost and reinstate the caps (something they've indicated they plan on doing), you can bet that Joost access won't count towards your cap. I don't think they'd worry that it'd be a huge Network Neutrality violation. At least not until a huge customer outcry erupted. Then they would suddenly "care" (until the outcry died down, that is).

I don't think that TWC would be that stupid. They can see where the Net Neutrality trends are going with the new Congress & FCC.

 You haven't dealt with Time Warner Cable much, have you?

Seriously, though, I wouldn't put anything past them. After all, their caps maxed out at 40GB with overage charges. Even Comcast (who's gotten a lot of flack here for having caps in the first place) caps at 250GB. It's a lot easier to hit 40GB than 250GB. The only reason they're not going forward now is the huge public outcry. They're hoping it'll die down and then they can proceed with the original plan (perhaps with a glossier PR coating).
