[kictanet] IP Specific access denial

[robert yawe]

Hi,

If I take your argument and apply it to for example facebook or google what happens when they do the month and realise that they are actually loosing money by giving those in a certain region access?

Regards

I noticed a few months ago I couldn't watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show anymore either for the same reason. This is fairly common for commercial content. Some content providers who get charged for the amount of bandwidth they serve out over IP networks prefer to spend that bandwidth on markets they can actually monetize. 

Makes business sense to me.



Kind regards,
