It seems to be a constant talking point now the talk about the rising costs to broadband providers due to users using far more data transfer, and with the use of content providers such as the iPlayer from the BBC which allows users to catch up on TV programmes from the last 7 days it’s set to continue rising.
The reason this time it's been brought up is due to the comments made by Neil Berkett who is the CEO if Virgin Media to Royal Television society magazine, he said "this net neutrality thing is a load of bo***cks" in a stance that sees them looking at slowing the speed down of some content providers who do not pay to have their content delivered faster.
He also reportedly said that those content providers who do not pay or help find ways with the broadband congestion could find their content being delivered in "bus lanes", we assume he means not being delivered as fast!
In a follow up The Register were contacted from someone at Virgin Media who had the following to say:
Virgin Media statement to The Register: We strongly support the principle that the internet should remain a space that is open to all and we have not called for content providers to pay for distribution.
However, we recognise that as more customers turn to the web for content different providers will have different needs and priorities and, in the long term, it's legitimate to question how this demand will be managed. We welcome an informed debate on this issue.
