| :\ Good ol Comcast... didn't they try this before, saying FCC has no authority over them?
Should be interesting to see how their appeal goes. I hope Comcast gets told that FCC does have authority... maybe then they'll watch what they do secretly. | |

| Re: :\ Depends on how you interpret the law.
If I made phone calls to a buncha people, spoofing my caller ID into your phone #, It'd be identity theft.
Comcast sending fake packets you did not initiate, could be viewed the same way.
But then again, Packet inspection should be labeled a invasion of privacy...and so far it isn't, so it's all just "Could bes" until/if a court decides.
Either way... I hope comcast loses in the appeal, throttling is one thing, forging packets is another. | |
