Comments on: FCC Holds Hearing On Net Neutrality; Transparency Urged http://paidcontent.org/2008/02/26/419-fcc-to-consider-net-neutrality-regs-transparency-urged/ The economics of digital content Fri, 24 May 2013 23:44:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Comcast Customer http://paidcontent.org/2008/02/26/419-fcc-to-consider-net-neutrality-regs-transparency-urged/#comment-57869 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:35:12 +0000 http://paidcontent.wp.gostage.it/2008/02/26/419-fcc-to-consider-net-neutrality-regs-transparency-urged/#comment-57869 Comcast was forging packets to make them appear as though they were coming from another internet user. This involved Comcast reading the *contents* of the customer's packet.

It is completely unacceptable for Comcast (or any provider) to be FORGING PACKETS.

I use SKYPE over my internet connection. Recently, my phone call was reset three times within the same conversation. Has Comcast has been interfering with VOIP traffic because it is competitive with their digital voice offering?

As the Internet forms and transforms, so many people have so many views on what should be and what will be. These often conflicting and usually opposing views seem to miss the reality of what the Internet and Neutrality is all about.

The premise of neutrality is objectivity, or freedom from bias.

The premise of Net Neutrality is the absence of restrictions by those providing access on those for whom the access is provided.

If this sounds like the western expansion in the United States (and other countries before it), or if someone has burdened you with the metaphor of Internet expansion as space exploration, that's because we, as humans, have the need to relate new things to old paradigms. If we are looking for something to really relate this to, it's pretty simple . . . the Internet is like Utopia!
