The story is fake. I've done a few searches for this online now, and found nothing.

Maybe you just suck at Google.

Whenever they have tried to build windfarms near land, especially wealthy areas like Long Island, the landed gentry have howled and bawled NIMBY! NOT IN MY BACKYARD! So they must build these far away to keep the landed gentry from calling in their congressmen to put a stop to us. http://longisland.news12.com/n...

Sad fact: Coal pollution is big killer. It kills more people from cancer than nuclear power which is no saint either. http://www.scientificamerican....

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm blown away by system, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone trying to do the right thing.Yes! Imagine the economics of scale if this gets popular.

mod parent up.

This isn't about paid subscriptions as much as it is about maintaining a regional lock on ISP choice. News12 Long Island and Newsday are both owned by cablevision. If you use cable vision's ISP, optimum online, you have free access to www.newsday.com and www.news12.com. Optimum customers never hit a pay wall, they are allowed on the site. If you don't use optimum online, you get hit with a pay wall.

A major reason that Newsday has so few subscriptions is that the majority of the people in the region which these new sources cater to don't even know about subscriptions because non-optimum customers are the only ones that hit a pay-wall.

Sometimes I might not motice the originals; the dupes would be good in those cases. If anything, News 12 in my city dupe far more with their news I think, often repeating it.

But from all the things that look stupid about US politics from this side of the ocean, this phenomenon of tacking on loads of totally unrelated stuff to some bill must be the worst.

That's nothing! Here in the US, a dead man can be elected to office!

Hey Cablevision! Before you start alienating your viewers with all this DRM hoo-hah, maybe you should consider letting them watch the Yankee games without going to a sports bar.

Cablevision has refused to carry the YES Network since the beginning of the season, resulting in many fans becoming pissed off and a booming demand for satellite service. And yet they still have the balls to run commercials saying how customers need crappy Long Island news channels and boring local programming instead of a popular sports team.

If I end up living and working on Long Island, I'd consider Cablevision for their cable modem service alone. Give me a dish any day.
