Re:'Internet censorship is trade barrier', says Google exec

Getting nowhere on the straight censorship argument because many countries LOVE censorship, Google is going to try and drag the whole issue in to the WTO and turn it into court fights using international trade agreements. I don't think they will get anywhere using that tactic. WTO hearings will usually sidestep issues where labor rules and protective tariffs aren't the main issues.

Broadband Video as oppertunity... oppertunity to screw us

I pay for internet, I pay for Netflix. What exactly is the problem?

For some reason because I am using my connection for something a feature they use to sell it they want to charge more?

And ISPs getting in on internet video is just going to make it a mess.
We all know, you can get this content with this ISP but not this content...

Re: Broadband Video as oppertunity... oppertunity to screw us

the ISPs WANT you to watch internet video.

it is just that they want you to watch it on their own ad laden portals so they get the dollars from the ads. they live in a fantasy world where they see Hulu, Netflix and Youtube as getting a free ride on their network. forgetting that these providers pay for their bandwidth and that their services are the whole reason people are buying broadband.

Re: Broadband Video as oppertunity... oppertunity to screw us

In the case of Hulu, it must get complicated, as they are 32% owned by the largest cable company in the USA.

Net neutrality should be optional where there is competition.
