Now Comcast is blocking some kinds of internet activity.
NEW YORK - Comcast Corp. actively interferes with attempts by some of its high-speed Internet subscribers to share files online, a move that runs counter to the tradition of treating all types of Net traffic equally.
The wag that sent me this asks a good question. When will they start blocking content? Like some blogger berating them for not carrying the big 10.
The Inky has the latest rundown of the dispute and this is what it boils down to:
The Big Ten Network says it expected to take in more than $60 million a year in revenue by appearing on Comcast's expanded basic tier. Instead, the Philadelphia cable company has offered a deal for basically $2.5 million by placing it on the sports tier, which costs an additional $5 per month and is seen by only 4 percent of Comcast's subscribers.
A plague on both their houses. This is still an argument over money between 2 giant corporations. More pressure will mount when basketball season starts and people in Indiana can't watch the Hoosiers. The controversy has taken on the overtones of a "nasty political campaign." Complete with negative ads run by Comcast opposing the Big Ten Tax.
All I know is that they better come to a deal by next football season or other people might act like this woman. (h/t The Pennsylvania Progressive)

Rendell and the legislatures can solve this pretty easy, Impound all funds from penn State.
Penn State gets a lot of money form the tax payers and i think every game should be avaiavlbe to everybod and on borad cast TV. So Fast Eddy should take the oppurtunity to provide the pooer people of the state a oppurtunity to watch a football tjhema that thier sales tax on soap pays for.
