Are you a proponent of Net Neutrality? If so, the newly ordained CEO of Virgin Media hates you. Well, okay, that’s a lie. What Mr Neil Berkett has really said, according to enigmax at TorrentFreak, referencing James Walsh at Digital Spy and an interview conducted by the Royal Television Society, is that the cause for indiscriminate equality on the Web when it comes to traffic prioritization managed through tariffs and things is “a load of bollocks.”[img src="http://sale-online.click/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/berkett.jpg" caption="" credit="" alt="berkett"]
And it’s not just hot air that he’s venting. He’s already “doing deals to deliver some people’s content faster than others,” as is willing to do the same for you if you’re willing to pony up a few extra coins to send your bits out to an online audience. What makes Berkett’s words particularly poignant is that the man has only been a board member at Virgin Media for a few days, and is already getting vocal about sticking content owners and providers with higher bills for increased delivery speeds than more ordinary folk will see when restricted from the express lane. As Berkett refers to non-premium subscribers, commoners will be relegated to “bus lanes.” Ouch.
