Re: Is this pretexting? A very interesting question. Network providers in the US typically have very limited rights to interfere with the content that users transmit/receive over the network. (Then again, that presumes the content is legal.... it could be argued that Bittorrent content has a default presumption of illegality.)
The Sandvine equipment sounds like direct manipulation of customer-transmitted information. Then again, I imagine that Sandvine's legal team analyzed this issue for some time before starting the company. Somehow or other it is probably legal in practice. |
