Comcast to create "Bill of P2P rights"

A few weeks after Comcast's non-deal deal with BitTorrent on making the latter's P2P apps run more smoothly for the cable operator's broadband subs, the largest U.S. cable operator said it will begin testing Pando Networks' file-sharing technology. On top of that, the two have issued a call for a "P2P bill of rights and responsibilities." Comcast and Pando plan to convene a group of "industry experts" to discern what options and controls consumers should have when using P2P apps. Secondly, the two want to address what processes and practices ISPs should use to manage file-sharing running on their networks.
