Vodafone Blocking Video Content... For The Good Of The Customer
The walled garden mentality of operators sometimes makes them delve into fairly twisted logic. Last year there was the folks at UK mobile carrier 3, saying that their customers would be "nuts" for wanting to actually surf the internet outside of 3's walled garden. Now, Vodafone (also in the UK) is trying to defend its position for blocking all video content that isn't Vodafone improved, once again in the name of "protecting the customer." In this case, it's protecting them against "bill shock" -- which is only a problem because of the bizarre data pricing they offer.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
