Google Fiber teams up with Netflix

 

Yep Google is teaming up with Netflix to take down the evil ISP's (namely comcast). Mainly they are advocating the Open Connect Program with Netflix (which puts netflix boxes in the ISP offices and connect to network directly so have a faster connection i believe) and asking the FCC to ban Fastlanes/tolls on direct connection. They are also trying to pull up the veil of bullshit that ISP's have placed over everyone's eyes and i think they are doing a pretty good job of it. The sad thing is that i don't think Google would do this if it wasn't in their best interest to do it.

 

Edit: 

 

This isn;t an edit more like an addition. Ars Technica just put up an article on this, figured id just put it here sense its a similar topic.

 

Why Google Fiber, unlike Comcast, gives Netflix free peering

 

well i was gonna write about what the article said but after skimming it i decided that its about the same stuff so i guess i'll just be another source lol. Feel free to read it and put in some of the details i excluded.

It's still (supposedly) happening, be happy about that.

If nobody with power cared about Net Neutrality, there'd be nobody with any weight to swing around fighting for it.

All Netflix needs to do is stop paying protection money to the ISP's.

 

If no one participates in it, then it'll go away.

Change the lyrics from 'America' to 'Google'. And 'Terrorist' to 'Comcast'.
