Why would anyone use Comcast for mobile is beyond me. Not saying the others are much better, but at least you wouldn’t be helping Comshit earn even more money.
The head of the FCC says the FTC is responsible so he's having it both ways by rescinding good laws with promises and having someone else enforce blatant infractions.
We would not have this discussion if the better choice had won the presidency.
I had the same question. They specifically talk just about video, so I'm not sure how they could limit anything over ssl/tls.
Even if they ask google/netflix/etc to limit the quality for their ips, whitelisting the ones who paid are gonna be annoying or very complicated to let the content providers know.
I remember some ISPs adding headers on HTTP requests to identity users across sites, but again that wouldn't work for encrypted sites.
Does this mean, If I have Comcast Bradband at home.. And I flip my phone to Wifi... so I dont use Cell Phone Signal.. that they are going to throttle me?

Do they just limit throughput to a bit rate that would be likely to cause a streaming service to drop to 480p?
