What fantasy-land does he live in? The "portals" offered by incumbents are inferior in every way to the companies that are "leeching" off of the ISPs. And, incidentally, how are they "leeching" anything if they're paying their dues as is proper?
He has absolutely no idea what he's even talking about.
Edit: Further, did he just insinuate that people or companies are not allowed to make money on the internet, other than ISPs? |

Leeching: The act of earning money without giving some to at least one (preferably many) large Teleco/CableCo company.
The hubris of some of these interweb companies to do this!

This was the best comment from the linked article that pretty much sums up the situation:
"This is not an unexpected stage of denial for the 'gatekeepers' of the communications industry. They have become so accustomed to their role of content provider that anything new and exciting is simply irrelevant. Even as it's clubbing them over the head and carrying off their client base into the inky darkness outside their ivory towers." |
