I'm kind of torn, what is going to keep a Tier 3 cable provider that offers Internet, from dicking around with prices of streaming companies. Especially when they are the sole provider in communities of high speed internet.
For example Mediacom has a lot of communities tied up in Iowa for cable/HS Internet, what is to keep them from throttling Sling or Hulu unless they pay more for the speed streaming requires? Mediacom has done a good job of preventing competition through municipal contracts, pole leasing, etc.
