YouTubeâs Bandwidth Bill Is Zero. Welcome to the New Net
,----[ Quote ]
| YouTube may pay less to be online than you do, a new
| report on internet connectivity suggests, calling
| into question a recent analysis arguing Googleâs
| popular video service is bleeding money and
| demonstrating how the internet has continued to
| morph to fit userâs behavior.
|
| In fact, with YouTubeâs help, Google is now
| responsible for at least 6 percent of the internetâs
| traffic, and likely more â and may not be paying an
| ISP at all to serve up all that content and attached
| ads.

Public Knowledge Tells FCC Movie Industry Plan for Set-Top Boxes Will Hurt Consumers
,----[ Quote ]
| A proposal by the motion picture industry to use
| âselectable output controlâ to hobble the functions
| of set top boxes wonât stop movie theft but will
| harm consumers, Public Knowledge told the Federal
| Communications Commission
|
| In an Oct. 14 letter to William Lake, the chief of
| the Commissionâs Media Bureau, Public Knowledge
| responded to arguments filed by the Motion Picture
| Association of America (MPAA) that such control was
| needed to bring movies to the public faster than
| they otherwise might.

Hidden High Court Injuctions
,----[ Quote ]
| The Twitter vs Trafigura case continues though it
| really is the Guardian newspaper and Wikileaks who
| have been driving this amazing story that
| illustrates the total lack of freedom of expression
| granted to the citizens of Britain.
|
| For those who havenât been following the case: The
| Guardian was attempting to report on Trafigura, a
| multi-national oil and commodity trader, but
| received legal threats from Carter-Ruck. This led to
| an injunction stopping them from publishing their
| findings. Yet not only were they prevented from
| publishing their article but the injunction also
| prevented them from reporting about the injunction!
