Oh, one last point. Yes, geo-restrictions are sometimes placed on what
Internet sites people can browse. But those restrictions are paced by the
owner of the content. Not by the ISP or other middleman. That's what net
neutrality means. Obviously, the owner has all the leverage.
So even that argument does not hold, wrt TVE. If you cannot access exactly
the same TVE programs as the guy in the Comcast neighborhood, Craig, this is
a legacy of past technologies, which has no place existing on the neutral
Internet.
Showing your lack of understanding again...
The customers in a Comcast neighborhood, a Cox neighborhood, a Dish
neighborhood and a Verizon FIOS neighborhood all access the SAME TVE servers
for the channels they pay for.
I could be slightly mistaken, as I do not know with certainty the way that each
network hosts and serves TVE. They may have several regional servers, or pay
one or more. CDNs to deliver their bits, so customers in different cities may
access different servers hosting the same services.
