Netflix Trash-Talks Verizon's Network; Verizon Threatens To Sue

Posted by samzenpus on from the paying-the-price dept.

jfruh (300774) writes "If you're a Verizon broadband customer and you've tried streaming Netflix over the past few days, you might've seen a message telling you that the "Verizon network is crowded" and that your stream is being modified as a result. Verizon isn't taking this lying down, saying that there's no proof Verizon is responsible for Netflix's issues, and is threatening to sue over the warnings."

      True or false, that has very little to do with debate between two companies, one of whom has only the role of delivering passive entertainment.

      If we're losing a middle class, there's probably more blame to be laid on our own watching of netflix marathons than this particular dispute over net neutrality. That isn't to say the dispute isn't important, but this is not where revolutionaries need to be laying their cards.
