More Time-Warner Fallout

The image “http://gadgetress.freedomblogging.com/files/2008/12/twclogosign.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.I wouldn't want to be working in Time-Warner's media relations office this morning (right, Ryan Shell???)

That's because the fallout from yesterday's announcement of a new internet metering scheme here in Greensboro has angered so so many people that many calls are going out for citizens to cancel their service in protest, to the News & Record comment section overflowing from this morning's article, to links of protest websites surfacing.

Make no mistake,this case reopens the discussion advocating for true competition of cable and internet services in the Triad. And a great many of those in the echo chamber want Verizon's FIOS to make a grand entrance in this area.

More coverage today:

Talk back to Time-Warner here. And here.

Or call them:

Melissa Buscher
Director, Media Relations (919) 654-4618

Susan Leepson
RVP, Communications (704) 206-6964

Hey Erik, had some great comments on my blog post about it too. Ben Hwang offers some good technical points there too.
