[Eug-lug] Comcast testing a new approach to throttling use

[silverlining2007 at gmail.com]

Comcast and TimeWarner Cable (which in a timely coincidence is being 
spun off from Time Warner) are preparing their systems to push their own 
(coming soon) streaming and on-demand programming. More bandwidth and 
better latency for their own company and partner offerings and less so 
for the products of others.

What happened to "net neutrality"?

Whatever happened to enforcement of the Interstate Commerce, Sherman and 
Clayton Antitrust Acts?
