Stacy @ GIGAOM has been keeping a watchful eye on the meandering ways of Time Warner Cable and their new user agreement. Basically she points out the flaws in it, giving it a well deserved thumbs down.
Here’s who should be upset:
Vonage
Skype
Gizmo5
and just about all the VoIP operators.
Add in:
UStream
Justin.TV
Livestream.com
YouTube
Vimeo
Also:
SightSpeed (Logitech)
ooVoo
Yahoo
Microsoft
Oh..yes, just about anyone in the business of real time and fat pipe communications. I guess that includes Google too with Wave, GoogleTalk and more.
Why should they be upset? Because we’re seeing the cable TV model applied to broadband communications, something I wrote back on April 14 of this year as a follow up to Stacy’s post then.
