Comcast's FCC Filing Called Unfair, Not Good Enough
Shoemaker brings us a follow-up to Comcast's recent defense of its traffic management procedures. The companies involved in the original FCC investigation are not satisfied with Comcast's response. From Ars Technica:
"Comcast made an aggressive defense of its policies, claiming that it only resets P2P uploads made during peak times and when no download is also in progress. Free Press, BitTorrent, and Vuze all say that's not good enough. In a conference call, Vuze's general counsel Jay Monahan drew the starkest analogy. What Comcast is really doing, he said, wasn't at all comparable to limiting the number of cars that enter a highway. Instead, it was more like a horse race where the cable company owns one of the horses and the racetrack itself. By slowing down the horse of a competitor like Vuze, even for a few seconds, Comcast makes it harder for that horse to compete. 'Which horse would you bet on in a race like that?' asked Monahan."
it won't do anything but make your dick stink..
If you had a coffee shop, and was told that allowing P2P could put you at legal risk, you ban that traffic. If you had the majority of your patrons telling you they are going to your competitor because they can't access your mail because of 2% of your users not limiting P2P you'd throttle it.
Wheather or not its child porn or a movie, I could care less about those who whine. If you want a law changed write your congress man/woman, goto capital hill, or something that changes the law. Breaking the law will not help anyone.
I had to move recently becuase they did not block P2P and thus couldn't even sustain an RDP/VPN connection to work. As a tele-commuter, I welcome BANNING and PRESSING CHARGES against anyone who cares only about themself and thier corrupt sense of morality. Simply put your not going to cause a massive problem getting anything legal via P2P. If you did police yourself and move the slider throttling yourself.
They should focus on not being stuck up snobs trying to overcompensate for the fact they beat their wives and rape their children.
Everyones a troll, I just have the balls to admit it!

Years ago slashdot was awesome. Then the admins did a lot to get rid of the trolls. Slashdot died then. The trolls were part of the community. Sure Slashdot should have fought against the page widening trolls, etc. But there was plenty of funny trolling that was part of slashdot culture that added character to the place. Once they were gone, slashdot started its downhill slide.
But the post office does raise it's rates every 6 months and over charges for their service....
