Network Management Practices
Just finished reading the document Comcast supplied the FCC (PDF) on their network management practices and reading the recaps from CircleID and Wired's Threat Level. This is, as folks point out, more of a historical document since Comcast has already submitted their new practices, but nonetheless it is interesting on a few points. Since we talk constantly about traffic analysis and of course P2P, I've been keeping up with the stories throughout.
What I found the most interesting in light of today's news was not the info around P2P or their new "application-agnostic" practices, it was the fact that Comcast's Jason Livingood who is in their National Engineering & Technical Operations, is commenting on these blog posts and supplying info, links and in some cases taking suggestions. Certainly a thankless job, but he seems to be helping bring a technical voice to the discussion. What have you thought as you've read these stories?
Obviously people will be watching all of this closely and I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions on the new practices they outlined. I'm going to bet some folks have a few things to say about the 250GB cap?
