BREAKING NEWS: Comcast To Stop Targeting BitTorrent Traffic

I just came across this article that says that the targeting of BitTorrent traffic by Comcast will end. Not only that, but Comcast will increase it’s broadband capacity so that it can handle this sort of traffic. In return BitTorrent will make it’s software more efficient and ensure that developers of BitTorrent clients learn how to do the same thing. Of course, the fact that the FCC was breathing down Comcast’s neck had absolutely nothing to do with this. But still, this is great news. Now if other ISP’s who screw with BitTorrent traffic will do the same, the world will be a better place. (Rogers, Bell, are you listening?)
