Doesn't this stop kazaa/morpheus/gnutella/FTP/<some aim stuff like private chats>? This is a problematic setup, and woudl require the cable modem provider to maintain a quickly changing 'firewall' :( I understand the want to do it, but I'm not sure its practical to see it happen based solely on the hassle factor :( Hmm, security, "you gotta pay to play" (Some famous man once said that I believe)Indeed it does break that. P2P clients: Mostly transfer illegal content. As much as a lot of people love using these, I'm sure most realise they're on borrowed time in their current state. And I'm sure that if they were gone tomorrow, I'm sure they'd be back in another fashion soon.
That may be, but its still a problem... I believe http and ftp also transfer illegal content, should we shut them down? Email too? Often there is illegal content in email. :(
Ftp/HTTP etc I believe most cable providers currently block these anyway :-)
for FTP I was talking about non-passive data traffic.
