I have deliberately set up an open access point at home. It is firewalled, isolated from the rest of my network and bandwidth limited to 500k (to prevent negative impact on MY use. I am not trying to be an ISP) However if one of my neighbors or customers wants or needs to use that connection under those restrictions they are free to do so, that is what it is there for. I have a secure wireless network as well for my use and those friends I trust that may be at my place, but the idea that somebody might try to make that illegal just chaps my hide.
So why should anybody be FORCED to secure their wi-fi again?
RT, previously known as Russia Today, is a global multilingual television news network based in Russia and funded by the Russian government. RT was the first all-digital Russian TV network. The service is aimed at the overseas market, similar to CCTV-4, DW-TV, France 24 and NHK World, and broadcast through satellite and cable operators throughout the world.
The network, which cost about $30 million in 2005 to set up and $60 million for its first year of operation, started broadcasting on Dec. 10, 2005 with nearly 100 English-speaking journalists reporting for it worldwide. RT broadcasts from its headquarters in Moscow and its studio in Washington, DC. It also has bureaus in Miami, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Delhi and Tel Aviv. RT is available in over 100 countries spread over five continents via cable, satellite, and online streaming free from the RT website. There are brief commercials, usually 15 seconds each totaling no more than four minutes per hour and scheduled two blocks per hour of one to three minutes each promoting the network. In addition to the Moscow-based flagship RT English-language broadcast, RT also runs RT Arabic (the Arabic-language service), RT America (featuring news and programming oriented to viewers in the United States), and Actualidad RT in Spanish. RT shows round the clock news bulletins, documentaries, talk shows, and debates, as well as sports news and cultural programs on Russia.
"Is the newspaper producing content? If you want to get extremely technical about it, the newspaper does nothing. But their employees and contracted workers create content for the newspaper, which they in turn sell."
He FINALLY got it!?
This is (almost) exactly correct. The newspaper doesn't do nothing of course, they sell ADVERTISING (or in internet terms "page-views") but the newspaper has never actually sold the content.
That is why the 'subscription' was often less than the cost of the paper, ink, and/or printing the newspaper itself. The subscribers are not the actual customers of the newspaper, they are the product, the actual customer is the advertisers.
You sir(or madam) have pegged my idiot meter. I congratulate you, I didn’t know anyone with an IQ that low was actually capable of coherent speech let alone the ability to read and use a computer.
