Narus is a 7-year-old company which, because of its particular niche, appeals not only to businessmen (it is backed by AT&T, JP Morgan and Intel, among others) but also to police, military and intelligence officials. Last November 13-14, for instance, Narus was the “Lead Sponsor” for a technical conference held in McLean, Virginia, titled “Intelligence Support Systems for Lawful Interception and Internet Surveillance.”
All this centers on what Comcast needs to subvert net neutrality. The controversy remains unresolved: telecommunication provider (data transporter) verses information provider. Permitted to subvert packets went right to the heart of Netflix survival.
