The FCC has said that you cannot de-prioritize any type of traffic. You have to do it by prioritizing other types of traffic.

It says nothing about shaping. Jerry -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of David E. Smith Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 9:33 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] The Net Neutrality speech we've all been waiting for http://openinternet.gov/read-speech.html In addition to the four classic "Network neutrality" principles, the FCC plans to pursue two more. Quotes from the speech: * "The fifth principle is one of non-discrimination -- stating that broadband providers cannot discriminate against particular Internet content or applications." * "The sixth principle is a transparency principle -- stating that providers of broadband Internet access must be transparent about their network management practices." I love the sixth one, but number five gives me the willies. "Nope, doesn't matter that BitTorrent users bring your network to its knees, you're not allowed to do anything about it." Please tell me I'm missing something. David Smith MVN.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
