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.

Please excuse me if I'm a little skeptical of this effort.

What do you mean? Comcast has ALWAYS put their customers first on everything. How could you be skeptical of them when all they want is to make you happy?
LMAO!!

horrible company
1) Stop being the internet Police.
2) Do your damn job and fix my over compressed to hell and back HD signals
3) Mow my yard and wash all the damn pollen off my truck.
4) Reduce your prices on your crappy service you provide
5) Get rid of your proxy servers that you call powerboost.
6) Get rid of your advertising that you state that you have the most HD channels.
7) Stop sending me that dumb arse channel guide that you charge me every month for and I asked about 100 millions times not to send me because it's a piece of crap.
"Thou shalt not waste bandwith!"
LOL ahahahahhaa
All this was never about the law, it was about how much of your $$$ Comcast could extort. p2p throttling was Comcast's attempt at accustoming consumers to tiered services. If consumers let this stand you'd see Comcast "premium" services next, and then "premium" HD IPTV services, etc.
Corporations will attempt to get away with whatever consumers let them. Stand up to all these crooks.
