this is way off. but engineering-wise I never understood why Tivo needs to get the programming information using a modem. any DVB compliant stream is closed system in the sense that it contains the schedule information within the stream. I don't have a Tivo box and I'm wondering isn't this method more vulnerable to scheduling mistakes?
limiting p2p software by the ISPs strikes me as ironic.
what other uses / application does the average-Joe-just-bought-the-best-computer-running- xp
has for broadband connection besides downloading mp3s/divx/warez ?
sooner or later the ISPs will discover that nobody will pay as much as 50$ to a service that blocks kazza,
and by all means doesn't offer any other significant advantage ,
surfing is _not_ strikingly faster using ADSL when compared to 56k modem.
IMHO ISPs should take the opposite approach and optimize the p2p connection -- it will server their own interest.
the content industry (RIAA and friends) might be losing money from the p2p sw, but the ISP most definitely not!, on the contrary many people purchase broadband service only for that.
this is basicly money going from one industry pocket to the other's.
