nsane.forums Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Concerned that content available on the Vuze HD Network will automatically be given a lower priority since it's delivered via a BitTorrent client. Last week Cox Communications announced plans to begin testing out a new bandwidth-management system in their Kansas and Arkansas markets that will categorize traffic into time-sensitive and non-time-sensitive traffic categories, "momentarily" delaying - throttling - the latter in order to "provide customers the best possible Internet experience" for its subscribers.Vuze has released a statement on its blog criticizing the plans, calling for close scrutiny by the FCC because the delivery of content available on its HD Network stands to become relegated to a “second-class†activity since its distributed via a BitTorrent client. "We take that personally, and think you should too," it writes. For along with FTP, network storage, software updates, and Usenet, P2P will be given a "non-time-sensitive" designation.
