|  Can ISP handle being the cop on the beat?
can track P2P pirates
YES
manage the notification process for repeat offenders
YES
and handle the grievance process should users find their connections incorrectly terminated
NO. This is where they would fall down. Escalation within Comcast's support system is abysmal. While mistakes would likely be few, IF a mistake was made, correcting it would be a massive chore for the end user.

After a few of these mistakes, if this ever happens, the PR nightmare will certainly change the ISP's position of being a the hitman.

| Re: Can ISP handle being the cop on the beat? Old news, plus what was the outcome of all that Sandvine crap?
You of all people should know it was erradicated because *SOMEONE* threw a wrench in their machine.
Here we are today and thanks to that great guy(*wink*), connections are peachy again.
This is a whole new level of bad. One I doubt they want to be a part of.

| yea ISPs would end their three strikes if the PR risk was people jumping to the other guy who isnt as strict. id rather as a major ISP owner piss off the RIAA then loose customers because a mad RIAA costs zero dollars and lost subs add up.

Useless Cause
@comcast.net | The great thing is that a lot of the people that work in tech support for companies like Comcast use P2P, so they will just turn a blind eye to whatever the RIAA or MPAA say. | |

@comcast.net | TK, I don't think that they would be able to handle your first two points. It would be easier for Comcast to just negotiate a settlement, than put up with the headaches this will cause. | |
