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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21057983 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:07:36 EDT Re: :\ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21057799 TKJunkMail :

Good ol Comcast... didn't they try this before, saying FCC has no authority over them?
Yes. And the FCC lost in the Appeals Court.

Comcast is likely to prevail again. The FCC has a dismal record in the Appeals Court of the District of Columbia Circuit.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21057537 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:48:11 EDT
