2015-11-13
you know one of the questions I got raised and what this announcement was yeah is this if this comply with net neutrality is this comply with the principles of which call for the equal and fair treatment of Internet traffic right so what do you say to those who complain that this announcement isn't necessarily you know doesn't really work with net neutrality the answer is yes it does it's a completely compliant our position as a company is completely supportive of free and open Internet and jokingly I would say is the same people that raised that think that breathing the air is you know a violation of net neutrality you're kidding this is a I really look forward to having this topic I think that t-mobile and all of what we do probably the most pro competition innovation Pro net neutrality things and remember in this case especially no one's paying squat the subscribers aren't paying the companies have we're not slowing things down and there's a little switch there how can consumer choice be any bigger than yes no and so music I think the bigger issue is you know the technical requirements to be compliant with your program is it something that's feasible for a small business trying to get into the video absolutely yeah all we need from a potential collaborator here's a little bit of information okay I guess the technical requirements while they might be you know a page-long boil down to this we need to be able to reliably understand what's video and what's not so that we can zero rate the video and so it's going to be a pretty light touch it's just like music freedom and you know when we started music freedom we had eight providers now we have providers representing more than 95% of all music being streamed in the United States so over time we were able to touch companies large and small right and integrate them but we expect it to be the same here I'll just add to what John said which is you know on this issue our company just really believes passionately in the power of the individual and in protecting that individual from you know the the greed of the mega corpse and if you think about you know the internet is supposed to be free and open it's supposed to be something where everybody's got a level playing field where they can access content from companies large and small those those are the principles behind net neutrality so we're you know we're doing this because we believe in that you know democratization of access so you know I play a favorite time binge on is all about access and openness do you know who I think can meet the technical requirements anybody that wants to I mean really it doesn't that easy yeah and by the way if if it if it was proven not to be a we'd adapt but yeah III think we believe it's anybody who anybody who wants to
