La Mesa, CA | Re: If you have nothing to hide. This article doesn't discuss "hiding" because of downloading whatever, it discusses encryption to get around the throttle of ISPs. | |

1 edit | Re: If you have nothing to hide. Don't forget online games which use bittorrent. If your games uses it and your ISP throttles it, your games updates take weeks instead of minutes.
It's anti competitive business at it's finest. Cripple any service that uses bittorrent and (if net neutrality fails) offer them a premium service that allows all of the ISPs customers to download games updates at full speed. | |

Miami, FL | Re: If you have nothing to hide. Companies like Blizzard should not offer bitorrent in the first place. People are paying a lot of money per month and the company should provide direct download access instead for the patches. | |

| Re: If you have nothing to hide. You know, I actually agree with you. Bandwidth concerns have become a thing of the past since Amazon started offering their S3 service.
True, you have to pay, but the burden is no longer on your customers to support.

Portland, ME | Re: If you have nothing to hide. Actually, Amazon's S3 service failed miserably this season when Amazon's own deals led to their services crashing when the XBOX 360 special went live. The "instant bandwidth, and processing power" never materialized and POOF there went Amazon. | |

| I agree with that fully. Users should be getting something for free if they are using a paid service via bittorrent where they give up their upload bandwidth for the business. But that doesn't give ISPs the right to get to choose the business models of other businesses. That's monopoly control at it's finest. | |

| Getting around the throttle of ISPs is becoming mandatory because the ISPs continue to refuse to specify real limits on bandwidth consumption (mostly because they don't have a real ability and there are no real compelling reasons for them to cut off their cash flow).
Effectively...they are subsidizing the high usage customers with the low usage customers at the moment...give it time...the billing systems are still developing. | |
