That said, bittorrent traffic should not be treated/shaped any differently then any other type of traffic. If Comcast is allowed to continue doing this, we will see further restrictions come in that will actually start harming free commerce and transmission of information. What would stop Comcast from delaying all traffic headed towards rivals?

We must keep the tubes open and free of any tolls!
The problem here is, Comcast's limit is not advertised anywhere yet they advertise unlimited bandwidth.

I don't like it when the tubes are clogged up but all data should be treated equally.
