Content providers battle over the future of the Web

Posted by sujay on July 30th, 2006 — Posted in telecom

The following article from Courant talks about the content providers’ take on Net neutrality and the battle that is emerging between the two sides. The CTO from VBrick, a company that manufactures switches and VoD products thinks the emergence of high bandwidth on-demand content is going to clog up the Internet. On the other hand the smaller content providers (some specialize in fields like medicine) dread the new super highway plan of the Telecom companies. If the telecom companies in countries in Japan and Korea (whose networks are considered superior to the US) can achieve excellence without this ‘pay extra and play’ approach then why can’t this be done in the US?
