Hey, I’m pumped about your contest! So far though I have not been able to figure out how to upload my video to your youtube page. The contest guidelines say: “Upload your short video…to Youtube via the Contest Website”. I see no way to upload my video from the Contest Website to youtube. Time is running out – can you help me, Byron!?

Why do they need our youtube account name and password?
Why wouldn’t we just link to the video?

I agree with all of your points. This is a very negative devlopment, and mostly is done to make money for doing nothing. It also gives the end user the creepy feeling that their browsing is being watched very closely by their ISP.

How will the winners be chosen? Will the drawings be random, or will they be chosen by video production quality, “aaaaawww” factor of the web site, number of Youtube hits, or what?

I’m not a video production professional, I don’t have a million dollar budget, and my web sites don’t help blind puppies find new homes, so without these questions being answered, it’s hard for me to justify spending the time on producing and uploading a video. I skimmed the contest rules but didn’t see an answer to these questions.

Thanks,
- Andrew.

You are absolutely right Paul and thanks for holding me accountable for using a little poetic licence!

“Other nations around the globe have up to hundreds of Internet exchanges.”

Just wanted to comment on that particular statement – not accurate at all. There are approximately 300 Internet Exchange points in the world – not “up to” hundreds per country.

IX’s definately are a huge benefit to those providers who participate in them – out of the approximately 300 or so, there are a dozen or less *really* large exchange points of which in Canada, TorIX is the largest definately.

There are several providers in Canada who refuse to participate in IX’s such as TorIX/Ottix due to internal “policies”. Most other providers embrace the concept and take advantage of these exchange points and their benefits.

Communication and speed are the key to bigger,better and faster internet. With the rate technology is always changing, it’s hard to keep up with it all.

The making of music for profit is nothing new, but mass proliferation of personal -and now portable- music players for playback pleasure is. We have changed the variables of the industry to the extent that it is time to think of new ways to profit from it rather than the direct sales of individual songs. It’s no ones fault but it’s time.
