Well, true, but its parent company is, and I was referring to those shareholders. But true, its actually possible the T-Mobile leadership is against it.
Defense? T-Mobile wants this, it creates value for shareholders. All public companies with diversified enough shareholders basically want to be bought, because they get insane premiums on their stock.
Everyone should mark this insightful so that it hits number 1, and more people see it. If not, please editor's choice this Mike, this is a spot on analogy that describes the situation exactly.
Well you clearly don't understand since you think that taking on the backbone and bgp expenses that Netflix pays its ISP would be less than $2500... That statement concludes that you don't know how it works...
If you understood how networking is parcelled out, you would stop repeating that 'transit in the middle' fud. Bandwidth is paid for at EVERY hop. All of them. None of it is free, regardless if it should be or not. Netflix pays an ISP, who buys all their bandwidth from backbone providers (the 'middle') who have routing agreements with each other that basically even out who sends who more traffic, and the one who sends the most pays the other a small amount (BGP). There is no free bandwidth, so stop acting like there is.
If the publisher's actually thought they were getting a bum rap from Gamespot they wouldn't sell to them, its that simple. Those lucrative deals are set up because Gamespot makes the video game industry TONS of money.
For the record, when you say 'Big Search', you're talking about Google, right? And 'Big Hardware' is who? Apple? You know neither of those companies were worth a damn when the DMCA was signed right? The only 2 relevant companies that even had a penny to their names when the DMCA was penned were Microsoft and Intel. MS backed it to the nuts, and Intel as far as I remember didnt really care, because their an innovator; once they create something its on to the next thing, not worry about getting paid for the first a billion times. So no, the DMCA was not a compromise with any hardware companies, it was a ludicrous destruction of American rights, and when it came to be I was glad I'm Canadian. But seriously, get your facts straight before you try and argue here, because a lot of the regulars here actually remember what's happened over the last 10 years
I hate to tell you, but thats exactly whats happening in the US, in every sector. Your people are in the process of being looted by your elite, since they see the internet as the writing on the wall for the old guard, and they know within a few generations the People will be uncontrollable.
Where did this oven mitt analogy come from, and before using it had anyone actually LOOKED at an oven mitt? Oven mitts have 0 fingers, not 5. They have 1 thumb section (i guess a finger) and one large mitten section to house 4 fingers. Wow guys, less time on the computer, more in the kitchen (even just watching...)
They wouldn't be able to make it look exactly like a transporter pad and then patent the look on it, no.... seeing as thats all were talking about in Apple vs Samsung.
I think its more that apple is terrified that the same business model it tried with the Mac and failed with in the 90s will, shockingly, fail the same way again... so they decided to litigate on the silliest issues possible in order to protect their unsustainable business model.
