Re: i dont agree with that said by Cheese:said by Corydon:Besides, as Karl pointed out, if their content didn't charge against the cap, Netflix, Apple and everyone else trying to break into this business would cry foul. And the FCC would probably back them up. I don't see this in his article anywhere... And second, why would Apple or anyone else care if it went against CC download caps or not? They aren't in that business. It's in this part...said by Karl's article... :
If you're curious, Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas tells me the service will count against the company's 250GB per month bandwidth cap -- a move that certainly saves them from loads of grief from network neutrality supporters. The cap is part of Comcast's network management efforts, so they probably do have to apply it fairly so that services like iTunes, NetFlix, Hulu and Amazon can compete with Fancast for your business.
But keep in mind that the 250 GB cap will only be enforced upon you if you are also one of Comcast's top 1,000 users systemwide (the Invisicap). If you've used 250 GB, and want to watch a movie, I'd say watch the movie. For the past year or so, the people getting the calls have been running north of 400 GB.
