Yes, you've got "some of the largest Internet companies as customers". Because you told them "if you don't pay us, we'll throttle you". Then you throttled them. I'm sorry, not a winning argument. Nick On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 10:57 AM, McElearney, Kevin < kevin_mcelear...@cable.comcast.com> wrot

I seriously doubt many TOR exit nodes have the political clout to be considered a common carrier. In a related note, I wonder if the six-strike rule would violate the ISP's safe harbor, as it's clearly content inspection. Nick On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 2:44 PM, Jordan Michaels wrote: > On 12/03/201
