Re: Yawn said by massysett:The main effect of Comcast's doings is that you can't seed torrents. Read the terms of service. Running servers isn't allowed. The "innovators" that EFF is so concerned about should grow up and pay for hosting. This is all a bunch of hoopla over nothing. Why do so many people support the industry on these issues?
Just because they put a bunch of words in their TOS, doesn't make it fair.
If I pay for a service, and then I pay for another service to run over the other service, why should one be able to degrade the other? Just because this isn't VOIP we are talking about, it doesn't make it any less valid.
As for the people who say the ISP needs to protect their network, just remember, without the consumer, there is no money for said network, so think about it again, on whos network it really is.

Comcast offers a Service in the marketplace for a set price. The Terms of that Service are clearly spelled out so you know what you are getting for that set price.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't "fair". Grow up. |

This is not a matter of like or dislike. It's a matter of fair or unfair to the consumer. Unfair contracts or clauses within contracts are called unconscionable in the legal field and will not be enforced by the courts.
ATT Wireless had a clause in their contract which said people who signed for service were not allowed to sue ATT. Guess what? ATT was not able to enforce it. Why? Because you have the basic legal right to sue.
It's a matter of time before Comcast is sued and forced to shape up. |
