PC Pro: News: BT wants BBC to pay-up for iPlayer

BT is tired of the BBC and other video sites getting a “free ride” on its networks.

Last week a row erupted between BT and the BBC, after it emerged that BT was choking iPlayer streams on some of its broadband packages, which the broadcaster said was hurting viewers’ ability to watch television online.

John Petter, managing director of BT Retail’s consumer business, has now accused the BBC of getting a “free ride”.

ARGH! Se en nesposobn isp, ki se ne zaveda, da prodajanje high-badwidth paketov, pomen da bojo ljudje ta bandwidth tudi uporabljal, in da si more tud zagotovit infrastrukturo za to.  Zakaj ne prodajajo potem kr 10gbit pakete, katerih hitrost uporabniki nikoli ne bodo mogli dosežti (čeprav bi teoretično lahko)…. Ahja…Content provider ma svojga net providerja katermu placuje za svoj bandwidth.  Userji placujejo BT-ju za svoj bandwidth. BT je pa precej ocitna “jokica” (ker njihovga iptvja userji nocjo gledat) in spara na infrastrukturi. U eri FTTH-ja smo! Na njihovem mestu bi poslau BT v qrac…. sam pac… to je ocitno njihov problem, jst pa sam rabm zrantat cez use to.

Net neutrality my ass!
