End of net neutrality.

[Not So Wise]

Net neutrality has nothing to do with individual sites putting up paywalls

And we have known this was coming for a while, Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp announced ages ago everything they have is going behind a paywall and nearly everyone expects it to be a flop

[Scary]

Right, no problem with paywalls. Problems arise if Sky run an ISP as well as generating content because they can, for example:

-insert Times Online results to be the top hits in Google searches.
-give Sky VoD services preference for bandwidth rather than, e.g. YouTube.
-deliberately slow down, sabotage or block competing sites.

You really don't need the Murdoch websites though while you have the BBC etc? I can't see him making money from this TBH.

It is because they've just launched a new ipad app (that does look quite cool from the advert I saw in the tube). £10 a month I think?

I don't like the paper that much!

Works just the same as ever for me. Just been to the home page & read a few articles - no mention of payment. Are you overseas or something? Duh.

See the linky.

The Times has put up its paywall. Look out for free Times with Sky. End of net neutrality etc. Blah.

Hardly the end of neutrality, just another subscription site.

WHS. Get off the outrage bus and retain a sense of perspective please...

oh dear, swamp. I don't think "etc. Blah" made your sarcasm obvious enough. Best to stick with the designated !

Nail on head. The BBC's funding model has allowed them to throw vast resources at their web presence.

How can other media companies compete with that?
