Comcast/BT Part 13: Is it over?
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Technology News
It may seem that Comcast might have finely folded and laid their cards on the table by conceding, and making attempts at working out a solution to the whole BitTorrent thing (it’s a start). It’s too early to call this a win for the users but the end may finely be in sight. This will be still a long and bumpy road a head, but I am going to remain optimistic about the whole thing…

Comcast/BT Part 12: FCC considers action

This was ripped from an slashdot article here
"According to CNet the Federal Communications Commission is considering taking action against cable operator Comcast modifying peer-to-peer traffic, a subject we've discussed here in the past.

This is what it is supposed to look like here.

It looks like the FCC is siding with users. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin says “I think it’s important to understand that the commission is ready, willing and able to step in if necessary to correct any (unreasonable) practices that are ongoing today,” witch ‘came at the start of a day-long FCC hearing.
Martin acknowledged that broadband network operators have a legitimate need to manage the data flowing over their networks. But he said that “does not mean that they can arbitrarily block access to particular applications or services.”
Could this mean “network neutrality” is that much closer to being realized? Only time will tell…
