Comcast Pledges To Keep Traffic Filters Active


Comcast Pledges To Keep Traffic Filters Active:

Comcast, in a reverse effort to Verizon’s well-received neu­tral­ity plea, has now stated for the record that it will keep fil­ters active as long as music and video shar­ing con­tin­ues to occur within its “tube” com­plex, reports Mike Sachoff of WebProNews today. Indeed, though Comcast for a long while had not gone so far as to promise to keep network-wide activ­ity as clean as pos­si­ble, the com­pany has now come out onto the prover­bial ledge to dub itself a firm sup­porter of data filters.

This kind of talk always wor­ries me, although on a tech­ni­cal level, traf­fic shap­ing makes sense (I do it myself at home).
