Also making the Hulu ad more popular is that it's much easier to target demographic characteristics... instead of buying every viewer in the Boston DMA by getting on WFXT, you can target only viewers in the zip codes in which you have stores and then pay for only the viewers you care about. More bang for the ad buck, so of course Hulu wants its share in that so they charge more in cost-per-1000 viewers.
Yet that "similar to" or "compare to" or some other phrase is critical... if the generic maker doesn't make it clear they're not the brand name then they're trademark infringers.
In areas where there is no competition for broadband
By the time there's DOCSIS 3.0 in wide deployment, there won't be many places with only one broadband provider. The phone companies trying to get out of the copper twisted pair business, and are deploying fiber-based networks to the home or hub. They want to offer "triple play" too.
The phone company is doing cable, and the cable company is doing phone.
Ken Jennings holds the records for most appearances, but Jeopardy! decided to hold a Masters tournament where pre-"Sky's the limit" era contestants would return, and Jennings was given a bye straight into the finals. Jennings was defeated by Brad Rutter, who has the title for most money won from Jeopardy!.
Subscribers are used to seeing the red header... it indicates a story that's ready to go but hasn't been released./. policy seems to be it's better to give a "free preview" to the non-subscribers than to make the subscribers go without when there's a glitch.
Yes, but most of Hulu's content is recently broadcast stuff, so a TiVo recording the show from the cable TV system is a more effective use of bandwidth. Get a TiVo...
Maybe it's unavoidable that when you let people download, they may get fooled. However, noticing you've got a botnet on your network is Network Security's job.
FSF is a little "out there" in the opinion of most business-owners. (And check your 401k, even if it's a 200.5k right now... you're likely a part owner of a business that deals in copyrights.) But here's the thing, what's wrong with that? Sure, they dream of a world where copyleft has taken over copyright... but nobody is being forced to GPL their code, and some smarter businesses use the GPL because they think they can make money on hardware optimized to be used with the code... see also Asterisk's Digium and TiVo.
I really think this is more grandstanding than a valid argument.
They don't arrest suspects as soon as they're identified. They usually let the suspect have his last days of freedom closely monitored so they get caught with enough evidence to get the conviction.
IP address isn't enough to determine identity. But IP address and date/time is enough to get the ISP to tell them who was paying for the service at that time.
iTunes recently raised prices for most popular tracks, and still charges by the track for music. Competitors like Napster, Zune Store, and Real Rhapsody offer unlimited music plans.
Companies are building up without the monopoly benefit. Here where I live, Comcast cable is a fiber backbone with coax last mile system, and Verizon fiber to the premises (fiber backbone and last mile, coax and twisted pairs inside the house) is promised to be on the way in less than four years, although it's expected in two.
Verizon's fiber is fast, but as half the customers get off of Comcast, that's more capacity for those who stay. Duopoly here we come.
It seems like given recent reports, that Obama is giving Bush-era government employees a free pass, but ordering the current administration to play by the rules. See his reversal of Bush torture policies, but unwillingness to persecute those who used those tactics.
Carbonite allows a configuration where you maintain the encryption key, with a warning that if you don't let them keep it for you, you'll have no way of restoring the files if you lose it.
Here's where it comes together. You say "in a protocol-agnostic way, at any bottleneck in your network, penalize the guy(s) who are actually spiking the demand"... which exactly what charging by the bit does. Instead of denying the extra service, the guy who uses more is simply penalized in the wallet.
Apples to oranges comparison. One network upgrade vs the entire revenue for the entire service. You forgot the ongoing costs of maintaining the network.
Bandwidth is always going to be cheaper at the datacenter... that's where all the bandwidth is, at the NOC located nearby. What the ISPs need to find a way to control is the last mile, where bandwidth isn't as plentiful.

You've all overbid. Erase the bids please. Go lower than...

Mega gets thrown around a lot. Here in Massachusetts, "Megabucks" sometimes has a jackpot of less than $1,000,000.

They do what Wall Street analysts do when the company won't talk... they make a best-effort guess based upon what is known.
Books and paintings are physical objects. "Intellectual property" would apply only if you're copying them.
Oh, yeah, that's right. "Theft of intellectual property" isn't a legal charge.

Maybe it's not right to consider it "spying" because of the Wiretap excuse... but what about considering it "theft of intellectual property"?

And let's not forget, the cable company now offers phone, and the phone company now offers cable.
