Multi-tier Greed

A new, alarming trend is beginning to emerge from the ISP providers of high-speed connections. Comcast has started a new multi-tier scheme concerning what a user can do with an internet connection. For now, they have blocked the use of bittorrent connections to seed ISOs. Customers fear that Comcast and other ISPs will begin tacking on fees for the use of the internet to do special activities, such as bittorrents, downloading music and video, VoIP, etc. I think this is outrageous! Greed is again driving companies to abuse their resources against the public's best interest. If you wish to voice your opinion on the matter, visit the link above or the Save the Internet website. Let your voice be heard now -- tomorrow it may be too late!
