Comcast’s CEO – Brian Roberts – admitted their illegal monitoring and throttling of p2p sites was: “A mistake.” Roberts pointed at during an address on Capitol Hill last week that Comcast changed their policy without government intervention. However, the apology and the policy change did come after threats from free media advocacy groups.
We at the Vanguard don’t accept Roberts apology. For years Comcast as cut connections, or dropped the bandwidth speed to p2p users – and denied it. Now that a Democratic congress supports net neutrally reform, and consumers groups are starting to gain leverage, they apologize.
