Come on down to Innovation ‘08 at eBay’s place in San Jose for this outstanding panel on June 12th:
What Does Net Neutrality Mean Now?
Comcast’s interruption of P2P transmissions has generated debate about the need and wisdom of deploying advanced net management technologies. Can and will the private sector address this problem without government mandates? Historically, [...]
I finally got a result from the Glasnost server after several unsuccessful attempts, but it’s unfortunately not correct:
Is BitTorrent traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6881) throttled?
2 out of 2 BitTorrent transfers were
[...]
Here’s an example of the kind of blatant falsehoods that Free Press and their ilk have been circulating about Internet regulation, from the Future of Music Coalition Blog:
Recently, Comcast blocked access to the legal, licensed audiovisual delivery service called Vuze — which competes with the company’s own AV offerings — simply because Vuze utilizes peer-to-peer [...]
See George Ou for some more clarification on the ridiculous interpretations of the Glasnost data:
The whole Comcast issue is being kicked around in the press in recent days because the Max Planck Institute released a study showing the rates of TCP resets happening throughout the world. But this whole issue is being mischaracterized as [...]
Free Press’ network neutrality campaign reached new heights of hysteria last week with the release of a wild press release on the Glasnost study. Their press release abounded with errors, which Register editor Andrew Orlowski endeavored to correct. Here’s his analysis:
With its campaign to “Save The Internet”, Free Press may achieve two goals that I [...]
The neutralists are touting a study by a German research center alleging Comcast blocking of BitTorrent at all hours of the day:
The Max Planck Institute has released a new survey of worldwide BitTorrent traffic finding that Comcast and Cox are the chief offenders for throttling traffic, and that they block at all hours of the [...]

Save the Internet, the front group for Free Press and Google’s main organ in the net neutrality campaign, never ceases to amaze me. They’ve got another bizarre piece of paranoia on their blog about the “closed” network that the Internet will soon become without some random piece of ill-formed regulation. Brett Glass questions them for [...]
John Conyers, husband of the hysterical Detroit councilwoman who was publicly smacked-down by an elementary school student recently for failing to think before speaking, has re-introduced the worst net neutrality bill ever:
The bill’s introduction comes on the heels of a hearing earlier this week about a Net neutrality proposal in a competing House panel, the [...]
If I were a dedicated blogger, I’d have a lot to write about today.
The Markey hearing yesterday featured an extremely bizarre reminiscence by the Chairman on the good old days when he championed the fight against the black rotary dial telephone. Unfortunately, that was 30 years ago and Markey hasn’t found a good fight since [...]
