Seriously....

Why would any ISP pay this to them ?

Cut them off the network or inject an ad to the user saying why they have cancelled it.

I hate that these companies pull this crap.

The economy is bad enough , and to keep making huge profits they want to rape pillage and plunder. Really have we not had enough of this ?

The government does it , companies do it, now even normal people are doing it. We expect the economy to recover ? It's just a giant money shuffle. And this will cause yet another "downturn" when people realize that this is just a shell game.

Anybody else tired of these corporate extortionists ?

How many letters do they get from people complaining about not having ESPN 360, especially when ESPN makes it so simple to generate an email complaint that goes directly to your ISP? Now, how many letters does your ISP get from people thanking them for not pushing ESPN 360 on them? See where this is going?

Overall, 123 million people accessed ESPN on TV and another 21 million visited ESPN.com in March 2008, according to Nielsen. Among households with either TV or Internet access, 84% of users who accessed ESPN content via TV, 10% used both Internet and TV, and 6% used ESPN.com exclusively, Nielsen found.
That right there explains why ESPN is a power house. 1/3rd of america watches it. To diss ESPN will promote a reaction similar to the reaction of ESPN viewers to you burning an american flag infront of them. This whole controversy is the same thing as the NFL network, »Comcast Sues NFL. If professional sports endorsed a presidential candidate, they would seal the results of an election.

$16 billion is a huge market/customer base to get money off of.

DSLReports has a very bias membership base, DSLReport members a tiny minority compared to joe six packs, and most/all businesses will obviously target joe six pack before they target DSLReports members.
