At least one major US Internet provider may charge users based on their monthly data usage, according to an analyst.
Roughly four million records containing the personal details of Time Warner Cable (TWC) customers were discovered stored on an Amazon server without a password late last month.
Today, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a lawsuit accusing Charter’s subsidiary, Spectrum, of lying to customers about the internet speeds it advertised and the reliability of its network.
AT&T Inc. and Time Warner Inc. said they can avoid having the Federal Communications Commission scrutinize their proposed merger, eliminating a significant hurdle in the path of the $85.4 billion deal that’s attracted criticism from President-elect Donald J. Trump.
These companies are only hampering innovation. Rather than moving away from old cable technology, they want to prevent the future of content distribution for their own gain. Rather than creating their own service, or something better, they prefer to remain greedy and backward. Hopefully their customers ditch them if this ever comes to be.
Imagine 5 years from now the US is still known for its low adverage download speed. Yep thats right, if they have their way it'll be that way.
"Sigh"...I really hope google's kansas project shakes things up for those who want to cap the internet.
Just sad. Greed is the only thing that matters in American business and politics. A world leader almost ranks dead last when it comes to internet speeds and prices when compared to the rest of the industrialized countries.
When are our elected representatives, on both sides of the aisle, gonna stand up for us? Why is everything they do for big corporations that move work out of America? When are lobbyist (bribers) going to be banned from Washington, and anyone caught lobbying (bribing) or talking to a lobbyist get jail time?
I can't see this ever lasting. Any company who implements this will instantly see people switching to a different company. No one wants to pay per data usage...
im not sure if theres something like this in canada but if this kind of thing happens to the company im using they can just forget about it
i'll have to go to the hour a day internet at the library and try to fast read every information i can get, no online gaming or vice versa for me for a looooooong while
