A Side Deal Doesn't Save the Net

[Commentary] What's wrong with last month's press event announcing Comcast's talks with BitTorrent? Their arrangement doesn't protect other peer-to-peer companies from being blocked. It also doesn't prevent other phone and cable companies from blocking. And it doesn't safeguard future innovative applications and services. One side deal won't save the Internet. Congress and the FCC need to outlaw Internet discrimination and blocking on all networks. The FCC has scheduled another hearing on April 17 at Stanford University. Here’s hoping that instead of trying to shut out the public, Comcast actually listens.
