So this might be deserving of its own thread but I feel like they are somewhat related (especially since I stumbled upon it while looking at articles about the NN ruling): Does anyone know more about Wheeler supposedly trying to reclassify Netflix et al. as MVPDs? I guess the hook here is that if he's successful it would give them the same right to negotiate to carry broadcast television that the satellite providers do. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2471223,00.asp http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shelly-palmer/a-la-carte-cable-is-almos_b_6095438.html Is this legit or is this nerds getting excited about something that will never happen?

Kalman posted:The FCC ruling would not apply to on-demand, because they're looking at online providers of linear streams (continuous streams of content). Yeah but what's to keep Netflix from offering a la Carte access to broadcast content if this goes through? Sure it might not mean I can get shows on demand but even if I'm paying 20$ a month just for a linear stream of NESN for the Bruins games I just cut my cable bill by more then 2/3rds.
