RT @petersuderman: When Hillary's emails come out, we'll find that it's mostly just sale spam from Banana Republic and Seamless.

FCC Revokes Net Neutrality [WAS: FCC Approves Net Neutrality]
lordsutch replied to JThorson's topic in General Topics
Personally, I think Big Content has duped the public into buying their argument that you, as an ISP customer, should pay for their traffic, rather than you or advertisers paying Big Content to cover the carriage costs for the traffic they generate. So while this is awesome for ESPN and the NFL, who can continue to make deals that make you pay for their content as part of your wired ISP or wireless service - because that won't violate this supposed "Net Neutrality" and the FCC won't make them offer their content to all ISPs on an equal basis - it's potentially not so awesome for consumers. The biggest boosters of "Net Neutrality" are Netflix (who want you to think that your monthly subscription covers all their expenses, when you're paying your ISP to deliver their traffic, regardless of whether you're a Netflix sub or not - they don't want their sticker price to be $20+ a month to cover the huge amounts of data they're dumping on ISPs) and ad-supported, VC-money-hemorrhaging media like Ars Technica, Huffington Post, and Vox Media's properties, who regardless of ideology won't be able to sustain their "free content with spammy ads" business models if they have to pay to deliver their traffic to your front door like non-electronic media have to do (you don't pay the postal service to deliver magazines; you don't pay the newspaper delivery guy to deliver the morning paper). -

Might I actually be able to retire my Airave in a formerly-iDEN-covered, insecure, undisclosed location in central Georgia, before the mighty SouthernLINC builds RRPP coverage there? Woot!

I haven't seen it, but "The Slap" sounds like NBC's attempt to make a thrilling show like Broadchurch while completely minimizing the stakes

RT @AnnaKendrick47: It's cute how I used to think this "barely-holding-it-together" feeling was temporary.

Actually I believe you switch back to corporate coverage on I-81 around Atkins, west of Wytheville/I-77 (when you leave nTelosLand for the vestigal "Southern Virginia" market), although I don't think that area is upgraded yet. You should be able to catch LTE again about 30 minutes east of Bristol. EDIT: Sensorly is showing some LTE along I-81 near Lexington in nTelosLand, but it might very well be a mapping error, or have been reported by an nTelos device erroneously recorded as Sprint.

RT @AndrewSshi: I'm somewhat amused at the outrage of American liberals suddenly discovering that the pope is in fact Catholic.

I doubt much, if any, of the streaming hardware in the field supports real-time H.265 decoding, particularly low-end streaming sticks, and even on PCs you probably need a recent discrete video card to have enough oomph for it (or for it to include a hardware decoder). H.265 is just coming to high-end mobile SOCs; it's probably at least a product cycle away from the likes of Roku and FireTV, so H.265 would be very much a niche option at this point.
