Re: Sandvine's MSO Case Study-Reasonable Network Management? said by jbob:Either way Comcast has shot themselves in the foot by publically stating they do not block P2P or BitTorrent making the whole argument of "file sharing" or even if you choose to go the "Server" route as it applies to BitTorrent a mute point now. By allowing it up till now and making offical public statements to the contrary they have effectively told the public and powers to be that they do not specifically consider P2P or file sharing via BitTorrent as something that is violating the ToS. This is another interpretation to fit an agenda. They also say they don't proactively block illegal activity so does that mean they cannot address it if notified? |

Sorry as I have no agenda and have to disagree here. Illegal activity is a well defined subject. The ToS is written in legalese for a reason sometimes making it harder to try and interpret. I understand they way they write these things and do not have an issue. They try and cover all the bases but sometimes allow certain questionable activities to try and please the customer base as long as they do not interrupt the network for others.
They can't one minute say they don't block P2P and then turn around and say it's illegal the next. Well they could but that would probably not be the smart thing to do at this point! lol |
