Denver, CO | Much ado about very, very little NBCU complaining about someone else's abuse of bandwidth is hilarious. These are the rocket scientists who tie up huge swaths of satellite bandwidth with crap like the SciFi Channel (if you've ever watched the stuff that is produced by SciFi for their own use, you know what "bandwidth abuse" is really all about).
I find the presumption that 60-70 percent of Internet traffic is P2P to be doubtful, but even were that the case, NBCU is still out of line trying to impose their own ideas of proper use of the Internet on the rest of us in the absence of proof that illegal activity is transpiring.
A boycott of NBC's local television broadcast affiliates, Universal Studios, SciFi Channel, and any other program content produced by NBCU (e.g., "House") by Internet users is in order. So might action directed at giving NBCU's parent company General Electric something else to worry about (besides what Internet users are doing with the bandwidth they purchase).
Since GE has made the purchase of major household appliances a foreign currency transaction (sending their refrigerator and freezer manufacturing operations south of the Rio Grande), it seems to me as though Amana might be a better supplier for this sort of durable goods. Just a thought.... |
