Virgin Media is the New Media Highwayman
14th April 2008 by David North
Well further to my earlier post “Video is putting ISPs under strain” the new CEO of Virgin Media has jumped in saying net neutrality is “a load of bollocks”. Hmmm eloquently put.
Essentially it would seem that Virgin Media are negotiating deals with content providers to provide a faster service. So if a provider doesn’t pay Virgin Media their service will be negatively affected by throttling the bandwidth.
So Virgin Media is the new media highwayman now? Holding companies to ransom. Stand and deliver - your money or your service is going to be a flop! It might be the time to bring back hanging.
