One would think Comcast would save more money by building a decent network and defending its common-carrier status.</p> Fri, 08 Feb 2008 14:25:00 -0500 urn:uuid:f58274a2-e7be-4e99-aea0-410d9bc606ab Bill McGonigle http://blog.bfccomputing.com/articles/2008/02/08/collateral-damage-in-comcast-vs-bittorrent Internet Telecommunications http://blog.bfccomputing.com/articles/trackback/4731
