Re: ha ha It's not EXISTENCE of alternative media, it's access to alternative media that needs protection.
Let's say for instance that Comcast strikes a deal for streaming video and music with say Launch.com while xyz.com offers video and music also. Are you okay with Comcast bandwidth throttling xyz.com in discourage people from using it in favor of their own service?
It's simply a "must carry" issue for broadband providers. I guess you guys don't think that cable operators should have to carry local programming either right? You guys think the "must carry" provision is a bad one?
It isn't always about news. It's about a company using it's market position instead of merit to compete. Funny, when it was Microsoft getting nailed for this restricted access tactics most here didn't have a problem with it. |
