Comcast’s New Terms of Service: A Recipe for Discrimination

COMCAST'S NEW TERMS OF SERVICE: A RECIPE FOR DISCRIMINATION
[SOURCE: SavetheInternet.com, AUTHOR: Marvin Ammori, Free Press]
[Commentary] Comcast’s new “terms of service,” which were quietly issued last week, remove any doubt about who the cable and broadband giant is looking out for — and it’s not the customer. On Jan. 25, the company released its “revised and effective” terms for Internet users with lots of restrictions and new limitations — but little fanfare. After having been caught lying to users and the press for years, Comcast is now basically saying: Our network sucks, and we can block your peer-to-peer connections — and everything else — for any or no reason. And since the FCC’s competition policy lets us operate with no competitors — where else are you going to go?
