Tuesday Panel #3:

The panel title - Burnie Burns Keynote

Random Blogger's POV

My Thoughts: Burnie is the guy that talked to us during game day at web 2 zone. He didn't really focus on red vs blue or rooster teeth but focused his talk on an issue that is going to affect content providers: Net neutrality. This is the basic concept that VZ, at&t, and the cable companies are putting forward to charge content providers like google, yahoo, apple, etc. based how much bandwidth they are using. This is a horrible idea that will stifle growth and cause small content creators like rooster teeth rethink how they distribute all the video. Looks like we need another way to monetize copper. So now we will be able to charge customers to get access to the net and then charge content providers for delivering content. I doubt that this would result in any cost savings to consumers but I guess as long as our quarterly revenue increases all is right in the world.
