Another Inventor of the Internet Wants To Gag It

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-so-fast dept.

MojoKid writes "Lawrence Roberts is just another guy with the title: 'Inventor of the Internet' in news articles. According to Wikipedia, he's the father of networking through data packets. And he's turned his attention to everyone's favorite data packet topic: Peer-to-Peer file sharing. He's established a company called Anagran, and says their devices can sort out which file transfers on the tubes are P2P, and — you guessed it — can throttle them in favor of other, more 'high-priority' traffic."

    Another illiterate on Slashdot, what a surprise. Can't we require a test or something?

    "That I should start an ISP which wont discriminate it's customers."

    Try this:

    "That I should an ISP which won't discriminate against its customers."

    Oh, and by the way, good luck with that. Stop back now and again to let us know how you're making out, won't you?
