Until now. Emboldened by the recent Net Neutrality ruling, which has put bandwidth hogs like Netflix which at last check was responsible for over 30% of all downstream US internet traffic, broadband providers are finally making their move, and in a preliminary salvo whose ultimate compromise will be NFLX paying lots of money, have started to throttle Netflix traffic. The WSJ reports (Paywall) that the war between the broadband-ers and the video streaming company has finally emerged from the "cold" phase and is fully hot.'"

I doubt I've ever read an article summary so poorly written (certainly not on slashdot!). Unsurprisingly it came from zerohedge, that renowned bastion of literacy. I suppose austerity as a tenant of libertarian philosophy may preclude the existence of actual editing.
