| A little better From what was reported before, it sounds like they want to apply protocol-breaking network mismanagement in a protocol agnostic way. That's an improvement, because protocol agnostic + content agnostic = network neutral. But, anything that violates the protocol causes more problems than it's worth.
Hopefully, they test these things really well, and discover that breaking protocol is bad. Then, they can focus on things like dropping packets according to the spec. Or some other method of fair bandwidth rationing.
Meanwhile, I think Verizon will eat their lunch because they don't need to limit their service. Then they will finally have to make some big investments in improving their technology. Of course, the places they have a monopoly at are screwed. |
