Re: Internet as Cable.. That is the crux of the matter, YOU can't buy it., only your ISP can! So ESPN gets a fat deal on all the ISP customers who couldn't give a squat. If you are a big ISP you have power to negotiate, otherwise ESPN says pound sand... If ESPN went to a regular subscription model there would be no problem. Then they pour salt in the wound telling the customers to switch ISP's. The reverse side of that is the ISP's start to decide who's DNS records to pass on. ESPN360? What's that. "SERVER NOT FOUND" That makes it look like ESPN's lameness like it is. That is a very slippery slope that ESPN wants the net to tread on. |
