amenditman Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Just another good reason to support Open Source, Open Standards, and Free Access.Cable provider puts bandwidth caps on third party streaming but lets you stream all you like from their in house subscription service. http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/16/shaw-ca...-caps-on-its-w/If you're thinking this doesn't affect you, you are wrong. All the big cable internet providers are working to get this done and get regulations passed to make it legal. If there was competition and choice in that market it wouldn't be a big deal, but many off us have no choice if we want broadband internet access.Just one more good reason to support a lobbying group like the E.F.F. Sometimes they are off the deep end about stuff, but most of the time they are the ones shouting out to legislators in all our best interest.
