Viacom might be going to HULU
Comments OffAccording to some of the news post people are worried about Viacom leaving Time Warner. Now Here’s where Viacom might be going digital. What do I mean Digital, I am talking about going to HULU. If Viacom doesn’t sign a deal with Time Warner, that would leave a space ope for someone else like Hulu.
So Viacom isn’t happy with Time Warner, or They want to go IPTV. Some of the Headlines I’m seeing are:
- Time Warner Cable Loses Viacom: MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central To Go Dark
- Dispute Between Time Warner and Viacom May Affect Cable Shows
- Viacom could pull MTV off Time Warner Cable
- Viacom And Time Warner Cable Play Chicken; Programmer To Pull Networks Over Fee Dispute
These are just a few that I am seeing pop up around the internet. So what does that mean to the internet user? Well On one of there show’s like Dora the Explorer on Nickelodeon will begin to stream some of the shows previews on Dec 29, 2009 for it’s next show. When you go to Nickelodeon Site you get this:
Time Waner needs to get off it’s DUFF!!
Comments OffI was listening to Geek News Central, and he sent out an appeal for people to make a comment or blog about Time Warner and to talk about this Bandwitdth Cap they are testing!!
So here’s my thoughts and concerns about this 40 Gigabyte for 55 dollars cap.
Let’s say you have the basic service with broadband cable access. You use your broadband service for several things. Some of these things are VOIP(Voice Over Internet Protocol), Such as Skype or AIM , Download movies or Shows from Itunes store and watch shows also from Hulu or Fancast. Now Let’s talk about the math of this.
Time Warner Bills for Bandwidth in Texas

This is one of those things that will effect us all. I am worried that the low-income families who need internet access will not be able to afford to pay for this type of bandwidth. Let’s look at the article and see:
The company believes the billing system will impact only heavy users, who account for around 5 percent of all customers but typically use more than half of the total network bandwidth, according to a company spokesman.
What only 5 percent most people now a days are watching HULU and stuff that is IPTV like AppleTV and Itunes, even NetFlix Downloads(Which can be a big file download). That alone is more than 5 percent. More like 50 to 60 percent and will impact a lot of families. It is cheaper and faster and more reliable to do this then to watch it on Cable. I think Time Warner is definitely worried, I know I am. I would have to be charged to watch all my favorite TV Shows on the net. I think Time Warner should go IPTV and get it over with!! let’s continue with this:
