Comcast

Normally, I wouldn’t write much about a cable company getting whiny about an FCC ruling, but with the upcoming net neutrality legislation, it seems as though the people at Comcast are making a bit too much of the matter, in order to highlight the argument.
Comcast was deemed to be in violation of current FCC guidelines [...]

I remember being told by my father that no one ever really “grows up”. That, deep inside, no one feels old, or any different than when they first became truly self-aware. He said that for most, the outside was the only indicator of advanced age, because seldom do people advance beyond the mental age of [...]

The one we have seems to be butting up against the limits imposed by the large carriers that refuse to put out the dollars needed to expand as needed. A blurb in slashdot asks why it should be that the large carriers (telcos and cable companies) have the power to shape the internet, instead of [...]

The rumors have been swirling for a few months about the possibility of NBC Universal being unloaded by the parent company, General Electric. Two days ago, the news was that Comcast was going to buy NBC Uni for an exorbitant amount of money, and, though people thought it strange, those in the industry were doing [...]

The FCC is getting hauled into court, by Comcast no less, because that company doesn’t believe that the FCC actually has the power to stop their evil ways.
The dispute arose when the FCC acted last year, putting a stop to the P2P throttling, and other tricks, that Comcast was doing to its subscribers.
I would say [...]

For as long as I can remember, there has been a bad taste in people’s mouths, left there by interactions with cable companies. It does not matter the brand of the provider, from Adelphia, to Comcast, to Charter, and finally Time Warner, the basic move that these companies are trying is to get over on [...]

We hear about the benefits of high speed broadband all the time. Comcast has blathered on about how it can deliver 100 Mb/s, but we have yet to see it. Verizon has decent speed, if you can get it, because there are many who have been promised FiOS, and then told that it is not [...]

For those who worry about the incredible growth, and pervasive nature, of Google, I would ask them to provide an example of any problems. I have seen nothing that would make me think that Google was anything less than benevolent.
More evidence to this is the tools that Google has made available to help users see [...]

Lots of eyes are on the new administration, and nowhere (other than possibly Gauntanamo and the prison closing) is the view more focused than on the FCC and its treatment of large ISPs, with regards to net neutrality.
After hearing nothing for awhile after the discontinuation of the early reset policy for P2P communication, the agency [...]

With the announcement of YouTube going widescreen, and Blockbuster joining in the streaming rental fray, a question arises. How will all of this extra load play out with the basic structure of the internet?
It certainly is a good thing that Mr. Obama was elected, as he is clear about the concept of net neutrality, [...]

An interesting article over at DailyTech speaks to the idea that strange bedfellows are made in the most unusual places in this life.
In an about face for AT&T, and an odd vocalization of anything from Verizon, statements were made indicating that the odd pair agree that net neutrality is a good idea, and that [...]

With Verizon making such a push for the ubiquity of FiOS, their abbreviation for fiber optic service, cable provider Comcast looks toward the future, and the offer of speeds in excess of 100Mbs for their service over coaxial cable.
The DOCSIS 3.0 standard allows for theoretical maximum download rates of 150Mbs, so the possibility of [...]
