ESPN and the inverse of net neutrality. I hope this doesn't work for them. Very bad precedent.
Hadn't thought about that angle, but it makes sense.
Disney/ABC owns ESPN. They and Time-Warner had a nasty spat a few years ago that resulted in Warner pulling some ABC affiliates off their cable system.
You could think of it as a countervailing force that could help scuttle the anti-net neutrality forces among the ISPs. But the consumer is just a pawn in the game between giants. The losers will be consumers (less choice) and companies on either side of the fight who aren't giants.
