This Ain't the Internet, It's An Arms Race
And I am an arms dealer, fitting you with weapons in the form of software. But while most broadband customers don't care which side of the Net Neutrality debate wins, ISPs are continuing to discriminate data based on the type of traffic flowing on their network. The latest move by Comcast is one of the firsts by a large US based ISP. Instead of investing in network upgrades to keep up with broadband demand, they have decided that it would be more "Comcastic" to start deploying expensive and sophisticated technology to slow down p2p traffic. Though the Wired article points out that they are within their legal rights to discriminate data based on the type of traffic (as opposed to its origin), by not acknowledging that they are indeed implementing this practice they are knowingly doing their customers a disservice.
Ok, back to weapons development. No more blogging while listening to pop music for me.
