Looks like Stevens will soon be going down the tubes himself.

Have people seen the recent stories in the NYT about Comcast? I have read 
that Comcast has installed hardware for "data management." They 
apparently block or degrade services like BitTorrent (which NASA uses to 
distribute space photography).

The most recent offense I read about is that Comcast blocks redirections 
from services like DynDns. One of the services blocked allows people to 
have a more personal looking email address that forwards to their Comcast 
mail box.

Just this Summer the forces of evil fought net neutrality legislation by 
saying they would never do such things. If they are doing these things 
now, I suspect they must have been installing the equipment at the same 
time as they were lying about never doing such a thing.
