Sure - Trust A Telco - Part “How Many?”
Brazen disregard for rights…
Save The Internet lets us know;
The Web’s Wannabe Gatekeepers: Comcast, Now Cox
“Comcast is not alone on the list of wannabe gatekeepers. Cox Communications has joined the ranks with news today that it is degrading and blocking customer file-sharing in the same deceptive manner.”
Just out of curiosity, how many Cox subscribers knew about this? But, what do you expect when the country has a lawless administration?
Harold Feld debunks the “reset packet faerie” theory and tells us;
“The Max Planck Institute for Software Development (MPI) has just released major study showing that Comcast and Cox Cable engage in major blocking of BitTorrent traffic regardless of network congestion levels.”
While simultaneously offering us;
“I eagerly await the whacky weasel words that will inevitably follow. Will it be hand-waving technobabble? Ad Hominem attacks, cheap rhetorical tricks, and endless hair-splitting about definitions or ‘what I actually said was blah blah blah’? An effort to brush past this by proclaiming ‘this was never really about whether there were WMBs (weapons of mass BitTorrent blockage), this was about freeing the good customers of Comcast from the oppression of Al Qaeda bandwidth hogs that use 90% of the capacity?’”
Harold tosses in a jab at “there’s plenty of competition Scott Cleland” and another at a certain “Decider-in-Chief.”
The WSJ produces an FCC quote (to be filed under “Oh… Yeah… Sure… I… Believe… This…);
“The FCC is always concerned about allegations that broadband consumers aren’t able to reach any legal content on the Internet they choose,” said Rob Kenny, an FCC spokesman. “If we receive any complaints of this nature, we will review them expeditiously.”
Like I said… trust your telco lately???
