Is this the end of net neutrality? Fox blocks hulu content from cablevision owners.

[kwkws]

[Quote]News Corp. and Cablevision are currently stuck in a classic cable vs programming "we pay too much, you pay too little" fight. But this time around News Corp. is flexing more muscle by banning Cablevision Internet users from accessing Hulu too.

When the clock struck midnight on Saturday, Cablevision customers could no longer watch FOX on their TV. That's because News Corp. (which owns FOX) and Cablevision couldn't come to an agreement on the fees that Cablevision should pay News Corp. It's something that's happened before with other networks and other cable providers but the new twist is that News Corp. is using their stake in Hulu to ban Cablevision Internet users from accessing FOX content on Hulu as well.[/Quote]

This isn't going to end well for News Corp. they don't have a right to pursue contractual disagreements through services like this. A contract dispute doesn't spill over onto non rights-based media like the Internet.

This actually isn't a net neutrality thing, it's Hulu being fucktards not the ISP.

Fox-Blocked made me think of a similar sounding phrase.
I chuckled.

[B]Problem Cablevision?[/B]

But really. I hope Rupert Murdoch manages to run all this properties into the ground. Just like he is doing now. He just doesn't seem to understand the internet.

[BURN DOWN]

I'm ok with Fox, but Murdoch himself is a douche.

I have cablevision (NY)

Cablevison has been under attack so many times and lost so many channels over time (Then settle and get them back). The Food channel originally started it off. The networks want more money and cable vision doesn't stand for that shit cause if they have to pay more the customers have to pay more to cover it.

Cablevison is one of the last good providers imo.

To answer the topic title: No. FOX is just being a dick.

[Ratboy14]

I have Cablevision. This sucks now I can't see house.

[Generic.Monk]

Wow what cunts.

[Jewsus]

Well. Looks like I'll be illegally watching house until this shit is over.

Fox sucks anyway. Nothing too important was lost.
