More confirmation that the Cable companies will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes.
In response to complaints to spoofing packets to break filesharing applications (and other applications too, like Lotus Notes), Comcast has rewritten its terms of service.
The short version is:
Our network sucks, and we can block your peer-to-peer connections — and everything else — for any or no reason. And since the FCC’s competition policy lets us operate with no competitors — where else are you going to go?
Additionally, Comcast’s terms of service have “conduct terms” that would make John Ashcroft proud.
Note to self: Check out Verizon Fios terms of service.
