Where can I find more info online about Comcast saying nice play to Vonage?”
Comcast Says They’ll Play Nice With Vonage Comcast today announced an agreement with Vonage that will “address the reasonable network management of Internet services,” according to a press release. The new cooperation is aimed at ensuring Comcast uses network management techniques that address congestion without disrupting or degrading delivery of third party VoIP services. The announcement wasn’t accompanied with a shred of actual technical specifics, and is aimed at showing the FCC (who is still investigating Comcast) that they can play well with others. Comcast spent much of the past year taking a beating for their decision to use packet forgery to disrupt BitTorrent. Once the FCC began investigating the company, they announced plans for more transparent network management techniques that I subsequently discovered involve clear 250GB monthly caps, increased DMCA letter enforcement, targeted throttling of high consumption users, and the acceleration of legal P2P traffic.
