It is setting up limits on how much traffic its customers can use, and saying that competitors‘ video products will automatically be throttled to 384k, which makes them basically useless. But, of course, this throttling does not apply to Deutsche Telekom‘s own video offerings.

I n t e r e s s a n t – dieses wichtige Wort, wie Gottfried Benn sagt, das im 18.Jahrhundert aus dem Französischen kommend in die deutsche Sprache gelangte, zur Zeit der Romantik, mit dem zuerst Friedrich Schlegel sein Verständnis des modernen Zeitalters auf den Begriff brachte2). Interessant – das führt nicht in diese undurchsichtige quälende familiäre „Tiefe“, sagt Benn, übersetzen sie es wörtlich: inter-esse: zwischen dem Sein, nämlich zwischen seinem Dunkel und seinem Schimmer3). Was »interessant« ist, für ihn »interessant« ist, entscheidet der Leser. Quantenphysik, Linguistik, komplexe Systeme, die Zukunft des web-Zeitalters. Ein weites Feld. Das Erahnte, das Unbekannte zwischen seinem Dunkel und seinem Schimmer.

Le quotidien Ouest-France n’en revient pas : « Ces moutons brillent dans le noir ».
The government in formation is a ragbag worthy of the most magnificent bunga bunga. All with liabilities apart from one of them and he’s the one that really knows about bunga bunga. A mishmash that goes over into incest (of the Letta family), that has a family perfume in it, from the “Mulino Bianco” of the mess up. Uncle Letta and Nephew Letta have taken it in turns to have the position of Under-secretary in the office of the President of the Council in the last twenty years. The President of the Council changed, but the Letta family was always there. As a guarantee for whom? This monarchic succession is an amazing coincidence. A family of ones who are chosen.
