Re: Wow...
said by Nerdtalker  :I agree. More and more, it seems that all ISPs are willing to provide is basically "fast web-surfing". Yup. I think you'll see more and more of this "walled garden" type of thing. Providers will look at the old telephony company and cable company business models, whereby bandwidth was sold per bit on a measured basis in the form of telephone and cable TV service, and they will try to emulate by blocking that type of traffic on the "internet" portion of the connection.
Only in the U.S., though. Yet another reason why we're becoming a high-tech backwater. |
