Headlines - Warner Music wants an ISP tax

[Scott B]

BTW guys, have you read the latest installement in the ISP saga? Virgin Media and BPI deny 'deal' :: HEXUS.channel - The online home of the UK technology channel

Let's see ... With regards to VM atleast

The ISP charge the customer to deliver a castrated, limited and constantly monitored service
They pick up millions from companies such as Phorm
Then they tax us to pay Warner (I am sure they will get their finger in the pie)
And then they want to cut you off if you download music and get noticed three times ?

So what about movies then ? Is all this going to apply to them as well - just a matter of time ?

The ISPs want to reduce the bandwidth used on their network so that they can sell even higher contention ratios than currently done, thereby making them money from multiple different sources - all with one result - screw the customer.
