Actually, you'd be surprised -- Comcast is leading the charge on the residential IPv6 front in the US, and Time Warner Cable isn't too far behind. Verizon, the largest carrier in the US not owned by a content company (by my back-o

I've been using NewsBlur for a few weeks now (I met Sam a couple weekends ago) and I think it's fantastic. Highly recommended.

It'll certainly be interesting to see if scalability of the IPv6 DFZ routing table is actually better or worse than that of v4 (adjusted for growth in number of multihomed organizations, of course.) One could make an argument that the bloat

We do basically the same thing at our office, though with IOS Event Manager foo sprinkled in. It works great.

Forward your email to an Apps account, then set up your @gmail.com address as an alias. Works great and you get support. Gmail is smart enough to set the outbound email address properly for any replies.

On your last point, we'll have to agree to disagree. Good night! Thanks for the spirited discussion.

Most of your cable service's video is actually delivered over IP, but it is on dedicated RF spectrum, even though it's on the same physical wire. If Comcast wants to deliver video to my STB over separate channels, I don't care what protocol

You need to be a Comcast subscriber to use their iPad app, but they don't have to prioritize traffic or exempt it from bandwidth limits for it to work.

I agree that Comcast is in fact trying to classify this service as a Title VI service. The implementation of this specific service seems to have far more in common with Netflix than standard cable service (even including VoD streams deliver

hey Zac. I'm the author of the post. That, or something like it, is Comcast's argument. Which makes no sense. This is a video streaming service, it's prioritized, and it's delivered just like other video streaming services are. Hopefully th

Hi. I'm the author of the original post; thanks for your comment. To be clear, VOD streams to your STB are delivered over IP, just not through your cable modem, router and home network. You're right, of course, that Comcast claims these str

Doubtful. I think both are too expensive, but both data and SMS plans are only able to be priced where they are because of breakage[1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakage

I'd be willing to bet they subsidize their data pricing with that text messaging revenue. How many of AT&T's iPhone activations come with a fat text-messaging plan? Data plans are low-margin; text messaging is high-margin. AT&T, alo
