Quote of the Day: John Paczkowski
"When did Ed Whitacre start writing for the Associated Press? Because frankly this 'High-Definition Video Could Choke Internet' story on the wire today sounds like just the sort of argument the AT&T CEO might make.
"One of the story's contentions -- that the distribution of high quality video over the Internet will put undue strain on backbone networks unless telecoms are allowed to charge content providers additional fees to ensure its delivery -- is one we've all heard before, and frankly it's getting a little tired.
"Content providers and consumers both already pay for the bandwidth they use -- the telecoms are charging for it at both ends of the same pipe. Nobody is getting a free ride. Why is it that the telecoms feel entitled to charge us a third time?"
