Kicked off?

So what happens when comcast kicks me off for using directtv's VOD too much and "hogging" their bandwidth? can I file a suit in court against them for preventing access to a competetor? This could get sicky fast...

Verizon, Comcast, etc should just start charging high per byte fees when you go over a threshold. No neutrality issues to deal with. If you are bandwidth hog, you pay.

I can see them taking is to the ringer for that though... something like 5GB per month for only $39! each gig after $5!

If the DirecTV is being purchased through agreement with a telco (like Qwest and Verizon do with DSL- IIRC AT&T uses Dish?), DirecTV-OnDemand shouldn't be capped or thresholded- I would assume that DirecTV would at least try to prevent that from happening when they negotiate their ongoing deals with the telcos
