Re: The EFF And what exactly do you want the EFF to do? Some battles are worth fighting in the courts and they have a history of doing so. Other battles would be pointless as there isn't anything legally wrong under current laws with what the other party is doing. That is the case here. Yes it does set a "dangerous precedent" (although I think "dangerous prescient" is a little too strong) about an ISP deliberatively stifling competition by forging communication packets. But I also believe that Comcast is a business and they somewhat have a right to protect their busienss interests.
The compromise that I would like to see is that an ISP would not have the right to negatively impact 3rd party traffic but they would be allowed to give priority to their own traffic. |
