>> A patent application from German company Infineon reveals a technology for deliberately interfering with internet telephony transmissions - or "voice over IP" (VoIP). A friend of mine who is a telecom analyst says "All the big vendors had stuff in their gear to selectively disable or degrade a competitor's VoIP service. I was at an Alcatel consultant liaison conference where some officer bragged how their box was a natural for telcos who wanted to screw cable operators and independent VoIP providers. That was three years ago. Infineon probably has a different way of doing it, hence patentable. Their clients must be telcos who never, ever like competition. This will build toward an anti-trust case in a few years if the industry has the guts to challenge these large companies."
Does this fit in with network neutrality? If the ISP's win out this wouldnt be illegal then eh? -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
