YouTube, following Netflix, is now publicly shaming internet providers for slow video (Quartz): http://qz.com/230603/youtube-like-netflix-is-now-publicly-shaming-internet-providers-for-slow-video/ When videos blur, buffer, or won't play altogether, YouTube is now pinning the blame on your internet service provider. Experiencing interruptions? reads the message in a blue bar underneath choppy video, as seen in the above screenshot. Clicking "find out why" brings you to Google's new website, where it displays video playback quality for internet service providers (ISPs) in various countries. It's like a report card for your delinquent ISP. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy I am a consultant to Google -- I speak only for myself, not for them.
