Re: Can P2P applications learn to play fair on networks?

MSO's typically understand this as eyeball heavy content retrieval, not content generation

I was under the impression Comcast advertised Internet access, which is read/write. Clearly I was mistaken... Really, the heart of the matter is that in doing this they are not being honest with their customers, the wider public, or other networks. If they want to do this they should say so. Arguably, they shouldn't do it anyway; I'd be delighted to pay some more for the assurance that my ISP will, uh, provide Internet service if that turns out to be necessary. Perhaps it's time to recognise that we've reached a pricing floor.
