It's a very good sign that Comcast is posting this kind of correction. It indicates that they perceive a broad social consensus that supporting internet anonymity is a crucial responsibility of an ISP, and lends credence to the ongoing importance of net neutrality.
It also, as a secondary effect, might incline us to look more favorably on Comcast's arguments regarding backbone capacity negotiations.
- opendais 12y agoThey didn't actually say they didn't monitor Tor tho. :/ That is why I'm kinda amused by the positive posts. They said they don't monitor people's browsers and http connections. TOR wouldn't look like that at all to them. Its a lie of omission. They clearly monitor Torrents, etc.
- polarix 12y agoEven if the details weren't entirely consistent, the fact that they made any sort of statement at all is cause for optimism.
