Re: I can see both sides here... said by RARPSL:There is a simple solution to the 3rd party VoIP situation. When I use such an application, I am connecting with a Server run by the VoIP Provider. Thus Comcast KNOWS that this is a VoIP Session and can serve it over the same channel as they use for THEIR CDV service. I know that this might be seen as violating some aspects of Network Neutrality but so long as there is no blackmail fees being extorted from the VoIP Providers and ALL VoIP traffic flows unrestricted over the 2nd channel, I see no real problem. Ditto, if Comcast gave other voip companies the same network reliability it offers for its DV service, i'm thinking the FCC wouldn't even have asked the question.
I don't think there shouldn't be any prioritizing to the net, I think that it should be in question when the prioritizing is used as some benefit to them.
said by bzmeteorite:Of course, they could prioritize all VoIP possible on the data channel, but what happens if a competitor uses a proprietary technology that prevents Comcast from identifying their voice service? Implementation of this should start with the need to standardize what type of flag would be set to tell Comcast, this is voip info and to route it accordingly. |
