Re: [WISPA] Story on Telco Bit Caps
Any telcom lawyers on the list who can comment on the legality of bandwidth caps? Based on my (admittedly limited) understanding of the various laws/regulations this seems to be very close to illegal if not outrightly so. However I am not a lawyer. Perhaps I should chat with the EFF. Thanks for the link Jeff! Jeff Broadwick wrote: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080822/tec_internet_caps.html?.v=2 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Story on Telco Bit Caps
IANAL.. but, I have maintained for quite a while that Bit Caps, Traffic Shaping, Pay-per-bit, etc., which affects *all traffic* the same is the only correct way to implement controls, and is the least likely to get you in trouble with the FCC. The FCC basically wants to ensure that ISP's don't block specific applications from their network. That is, the FCC has stated that customers have the right to use bittorrent on our networks, whether we like it or not. What they haven't said anything about is our ability to charge customers for usage, so including only a specific amount of transfer is perfectly acceptable. -forrest Charles Wyble wrote: Any telcom lawyers on the list who can comment on the legality of bandwidth caps?

I certainly hope it's not illegal. That'd spell bad news for us all if it was... I do, however, disagree with a meager 5 GB. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Charles Wyble [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Story on Telco Bit Caps Any telcom lawyers on the list who can comment on the legality of bandwidth caps?

Agreed I believe the goal with this new policy is to raise rates. This is good for us. Mike Hammett wrote: I certainly hope it's not illegal. That'd spell bad news for us all if it was...
