Stacey Higginbotham of Gigaom.com felt compelled to write a rather scatching piece of how ISP’s are watching data and bandwidth throttling, yawn can’t bloggers think of anything more original then to bash the ISP’s who we know are doing things completly the wrong way with their traffic handling such as Comcast, BT, Virgin Media, the thing is none of them have the consumers interest at heart. The consumer pays an average of $45 for a broadband connection according to stats from http://goliath.ecnext.com just to be messed around by these companies.
That divuluges entirely from the point I am trying to make, this blogger and many others are simply creating too much repetive noise in the blogosphere over the same matter that everyone is fully aware of, and I don’t see how Gigaom can use this article as valuable resource for it’s RSS subscribers.
That is not to say that Stacey writes bad content, in fact I picked up an article from her recently which I really enjoyed, it was about HP, Yahoo and Intel and the cloud computing movement, so I am not taking anything away from Stacey for being a bad blogger, she can’t be if she is working for Gigaom, but in future I just really don’t want to see her attempting to write the same content everyone has seen for months not neccesarily reblogging. But just rehashing!
A comment from the article particulary caught my attention on this matter:
