Comcast's Stream Is Worse For Net Neutrality Than People Think
- BGR, Tuesday, December 1, 2015 11:21 AM
Comcast's new $15-a-month streaming television offering, Stream, which won't be counted against consumers' data caps, is "even worse" for net neutrality than many people think, BGR's Zach Epstein says. "The obvious initial issue here is that Comcast is giving itself an unfair advantage in the streaming TV market," he writes. "Why would anyone subscribe to Sling TV, for example, when they can subscribe to Stream TV instead and watch TV shows, sports and movies without worrying about their data caps?"
Leave it to Comcast to degrade the user expereience and horse collar broadband with metered pricing which any Engineer will tell you is unsubstantiated in terms of the operating cost to deliver Gigabits.
