[ NNSquad ] Comcast CEO: "It was a mistake" to slow BitTorrent traffic
Comcast CEO: "It was a mistake" to slow BitTorrent traffic http://bit.ly/9kx6AL (The Hill) I note that he apparently didn't address the fact that Comcast interference with P2P was exposed by outside parties after the company repeatedly lied about whether or not they were tampering with traffic related to those sites. Maybe it just slipped his mind. Part of the reason for Net Neutrality rules isn't just to mandate fair treatment, but to put in place mechanisms for outside observers to verify what's actually going on, even if the ISP is completely trusted. The few dominant ISPs control 100% of the access to the Internet for most users in the U.S. So, no doubt those ISPs wouldn't argue against: "Trust but verify!" -- right? --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
