It's a network operations thing... why should Comcast provide a fat pipe for the rest of the world to benefit from? Just my $.02.Because their customers PAY them to provide that fat pipe?
You are correct, customers pay Comcast to provide a fat pipe for THEIR use (MSO's typically understand this as eyeball heavy content retrieval, not content generation). They do not provide that pipe for somebody on another network to use, I mean abuse. Comcast's SLA is with their user, not the remote user. Also, its a long standing policy on most "broadband" type networks that the do not support user offered services, which this clearly falls into. charles
