Keep The Net Neutral
I just got done reading an article in mediapost that speaks of AT&T's planned attempt to minimize piracy on its network. Of course, I am not pro-piracy, but I cannot believe that companies are still focusing so much attention on controlling media as opposed to accepting it's democratization and learning to work within the new framework.
What got me the most (and what prompted me to write this post) was some of the reasons that AT&T is making this effort.
AT&T says it is protecting the best interests of its network and its customers, because illegal peer-to-peer file-sharing sites not only raise the cost of DVD and CD sales--they also eat up bandwidth on the network.
Raising the cost of CD's!!!
Come on guys...do you think we are idiots?
We all know that plastic media is on it's way out. A rise in such media would necessitate more bandwidth cost and potentially more money for you. Why are you so worried about a rise in the price of plastic media anyhow?
Phew.
