Sure is, and this is just the opening salvo. This is going to get MUCH worse. Your price to use NetFlix is about to skyrocket.
I don’t think this is about the price of Netflix or at least not much. Netflix probably got a sweet deal.
This has more to do with ISP getting a chunk of Google, Amazon and everybody else making money on the internet. The best analogy I can think of is the Feds using tax money to build a highway for everybody to use, then turning it into a toll road.
Netflix is paying the toll. Now that the precedence is set, they are going to be hitting everybody else they see making a profit.
And just so everybody can share the pain, after making all the content providers pay for special consideration of their access to bandwidth, they are going to cap the consumer’s account so they don’t abuse the privilege of receiving this content.
Millenials feel they have an inalienable right to unlimited broadband at near-free pricing.
This is a HUGE issue. Net Neutrality, reining in the NSA, and a promise to punish bankers is going to elect our first Fake White Indian President IMO.
