Doc pointed to this story of a Bellsouth exec’s plans to sell an Internet site’s performance to the highest bidder.
William L. Smith, chief technology officer for Atlanta-based BellSouth Corp., told reporters and analysts that an Internet service provider such as his firm should be able, for example, to charge Yahoo Inc. for the opportunity to have its search site load faster than that of Google Inc.
Just when you thought the entertainment industry had a lock on sleazy, clueless executives, score one for the telecoms.
Doc’s latest “manifesto” in this month’s Linux Journal is so very true. We’ve got to keep the telecoms from hijacking the Internet. Read it if you haven’t already.
Sorry to butt in, but do you know any neighbors who might like to write the Windsor Forest Newsletter? My year is up and it seems the Board doesn’t have any ideas for a replacement. If so, please tell them to write to WFNewsletter@hotmail.com. Thanks! 🙂
We would!!
