Comcast's blocking an application by BitTorrent that would allow peer-to-peer video sharing. Yet that conflict was ultimately resolved by the two companies -- without FCC intervention -- This is false.
Comcast got BitTorrent Inc. to make cooperative-sounding noises in the middle of the FCC investigation, but BitTorrent Inc. never complained about Comcast. The application vendor who did formally complain was Vuze (makers of Azureus). Comcast's deal with BitTorrent raised the specter of cooperating, but that was just to try to get the FCC off of its back. -- Robb Topolski -= funchords.com =- District of Columbia -- KJ7RL Test your Broadband connection today! -- »measurementlab.net/ |
