J’ai mal à ma Net neutrality

Il est pourtant primordial de défendre cette notion. La neutralité du Net semble attaquée de toute part en ce moment par les FAI: en France avec Orange, aux États-Unis avec Comcast… Il est pourtant primordial de défendre cette notion. Aujourd’hui, ce n’est pas une news qui me fait réagir mais deux. La première est issue de l’excellent billet de Fabrice dont je vous recommande vivement la lecture et qui épingle Orange comme il se doit … mais Fabrice est à mon sens encore trop gentil et nous allons voir pourquoi. La seconde est une décision de justice américaine qui piquote derrière les yeux.

Dernier épisode en date, Stéphane Richard, directeur Général d’Orange, pour qui la Net Neutrality revêt une définition pour le moins assez singulière. Heureusement que nous avons Orange pour nous faire un petit recadrage sémantique ! J’ai mal à ma Net neutrality. Is Your Netflix Slow? This May Be Why. Verizon and Comcast customers aren't hallucinating -- Netflix really has gotten slower for them.

Is Your Netflix Slow? This May Be Why

The streaming video service on Monday released its monthly ranking of Internet service providers from fastest to slowest in terms of average performance of Netflix streams.

But not all transit-free networks are tier 1 networks.
