Comcast is again going to war to maximize their profits at the expense of net neutrality. Comcast says that Netflix are being downloaded mostly from the Level3 backbone. So Comcast wants to surcharge Level3 for connections to Comcast customers. Comcast now want to restrict access to the internet.
Comcast can do this because Comcast got classified as an information provides - not a data transporter. And the Supreme Court has, essentially, banned the FCC from enforcing rules that protect net neutrality.
It's just a matter of time before Comcast goes back to subvert Skype packets so that users will be force to use Comcast telephones - not Skype. Even that is now legal thanks to a Supreme Court ruling (and the monopoly created by Michael Powell last decade).
Comcast needs more cash to pay for a 50 story skyscraper, NBC, Tivo, and other purchases.
