Good piece
Francois is a good TV man, his reviews and explanations go far to explain the Internet and technology to those of us who don’t necessarily have the time to follow these things.
Charging for unowned content
Big ISPs are also charging for data they don’t own through UBB. With, say, $1.90/GB big ISPs are charging people for data that is created by others on the internet. Regardless of the content or who owns it, each copy is charged based on its size. UBB is beyond price gouging.
This may have been said elsewhere, but not in the video. Another unanswered question is how does big ISPs justify collecting a ridiculous price on free content like Creative Commons or Free/Open Source?
