QUOTE
The decision wasn't a surprise; during oral argument earlier this year, the judges pressed the FCC's top lawyer repeatedly. The Policy Statement was "aspirational, not operational," they said; the FCC had not identified a "specific statute" Comcast violated; and the FCC "can't get an unbridled, roving commission to go about doing good."

Comcast pledged some time ago to change the way it handled traffic management, and it has already transitioned to a protocol-agnostic approach to congestion.


So the obvious question is - why continue the lawsuit, unless you actually don't plan to take a "protocol-agnostic approach" in all cases...? Hmm?

Of course, the real solution to all this is to sign net neutrality into law, but that's an uphill battle between the elected representatives complete lack of understanding of the issues and rabid lobbying of certain large corporations with vested interests in everything but net neutrality, which is why it still hasn't happened - here or in the US.

Well, I'm still not sure about "neutrality," although it seems to have worked pretty well for the Swiss...
And, as far as "nets" are concerned, I still don't like to see women wearing them on their hair at Wal-Mart! Just another reason I stay with that French company, Target. wacko.gif

Maybe the representatives aren't the only ones that don't understand this problem? Thinking.gif
