|  "reasonable"
Nothing is likely to change anytime soon. It's unreasonable to expect ISP's to act "reasonable". About the only way anything will be changed in their current culture of DPI & throttling is sever government intervention, and that's just as unlikely to happen unless there is some kind of horrible event on the scale of Enron involving the misuse of DPI and other related practices. If some tech at ISP X used the DPI systems to collect millions of credit card numbers and personal information, Congress would seriously call in to question the lack-of-privacy practices of ISP's. Or if ISP X secretly started to block or severely limit access to competing service websites like YouTube or Hulu for favor to their own VOD site, and then their is a huge scandal involving leaked emails showing that previous press releases that the brocades were accidental were lies and the orders came for the top, Congress would possible pass a decent network neutrality bill that means something to the people.
Of course, I'm just speaking metaphorically. |
