Re: News: Comcast to end P2P interference

Well, my point is that with the threat of regulation looming, a second hearing coming, the FCC in the midst of an investigation, and the entire tech news media watching every word they say, it would be suicide to boldly lie via press release.

I've been buried in telecom PR for the better part of this decade. PR guys talked to one on one generally fib and flub. Press releases generally try to stay straight as lawyers and professional writers have had time to cook each word. If they were going to come back and throttle only "non-legit" BT traffic, the wording would be much more vague.

I imagine the new system likely won't target specific protocols...who knows what kind of pattern consumption they will target, and we won't probably know until the end of this year.

Re: News: Comcast to end P2P interference

I know. Sorry to have a little fun at your expense, but I did want to take that opportunity to remind people that what Comcast says is often interpreted differently by its customers.

In rental cars, you have "Hertz" and you have "Not exactly." In CATV Internet, Comcast is the "Not Exactly" company.

Well, my point is that with the threat of regulation looming, a second hearing coming, the FCC in the midst of an investigation, and the entire tech news media watching every word they say, it would be suicide to boldly lie via press release.
Or to pay people to stuff a meeting, again.

Stanford is going to be a circus. Everyone in the gallery will be suspicious of everyone else in the gallery. (I, myself, will be wearing an assortment of highlighters.)
