SBC denies it will block video traffic
Marguerite Reardon writes in the C|Net Broadband Blog:
Representatives from SBC Communications deny that the company will block video on the new fiber-to-the-curb network it's building.
An item in the Sunday edition of the industry newsletter Future of TV.net, published by Broadband Reports publisher Dave Burstein, quoted SBC's chief operating officer, Randall Stephenson, as saying, "We're going to control the video on our network. The content guys will have to make a deal with us."
The brief item in the newsletter implies that SBC will block all video traffic traveling over its broadband network even if it comes from the public Internet. This means that SBC would essentially block video traffic from any Web sites that distribute video, if the content provider has not struck a deal with SBC.
