I doubt we'll see that from ISPs. The direction that ISPs are leaning in regards to capping and/or billing-by-the-byte are much more plausible tactics to "stifle" competition IMO.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19988299 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:35:08 EDT Re: I have this gnawing feeling . . . http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19988233 newview :

that if Comcast prevails in this investigation, they will use the findings to begin "traffic shaping" other protocols they deem unacceptable.
Which will be everything not going to their "commercial partners".
. . . like VOIP.

What better way to stifle competition than to screw with packets to a competing VOIP service in order to convince potential subscribers that Comcast is "better".

Threats of an FCC investigation are basically toothless, anyway. Do you really believe the FCC will actually put a stop to business as usual while the telco errand boy is still at the helm? He would be treading in awfully shallow water to demonize a business practice that his beloved corporate telco masters will no doubt and have employed themselves. (cough AT&T cough Pearl Jam cough). The throttling of Internet traffic is tantamount to censorship, however, Essentially, Comcrap's version of same is a different stanza of the same song.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19987834 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:32:06 EDT Re: I have this gnawing feeling . . . http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19987802 anon : I just hope the investors win that lawsuit they've been threatening Comcast with not too long ago...
