Name changes are historically bad. They should redesign their stores, but leave their name:

Comment on Time Warner to start metering test in Texas. Texas, please fight it off. by lethologica

lethologica — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:52:42 +0000

I’ve recently taken up net neutrality as somewhat of a flagship issue after reading this story about Time Warner and now Comcast rolling out what I consider to be extremely net neutrality-hostile policies. Comcast is instituting “protocol agnostic” bandwidth management policies (note that they are not called “content agnostic”). Now neither of these may be directly related to the issue of net neutrality in the sense that they do not appear on their face to give one content provider a notable advantage over another.

In both cases, however, there is ample room for abuse if we do not push Congress to enact regulations and oversight that prevents the telcos from abandoning their obligation to remain “common carriers”. I have tried to make the case throughout the blogosphere that absent any net neutrality regulation, metering and bandwidth caps will be the trojan horse through which they introduce the “slow lane” that goes to the heart of this issue.

If metered usage does end up becoming prevalent, people will absolutely hate it before too long (and most of us will have no other options). Without net neutrality, I believe that we will see the telcos introduce “preferred partner” content that will not be subject to these meters and caps. The consumers will have absolutely no say in which sites get this preferential treatment, but I can guarantee you that it will benefit the telocs more than the public at large.

Comcast and TWC will never outright prohibit users from going to any site they want, but any sort of preferential treatment such as the type I’ve described above is totally fair game without a rock solid set of laws protecting net neutrality.

Comment on Gates and DEVELOPER-Man to show some of Windows 7 at D6. by Zayne Humphrey

Well, yes, Microsoft does have knowledge that Vista sucks, but so far, Windows 7 just looks like Vista with touch-capabilities. I’m hoping Windows 7 is nearly, or actually a try to write Windows from the top up. Vista was supposed to wow us, when it only makes us say yawn, while in 2004, Longhorn made me, a usual Windows/Microsoft hater, actually look forward to a Windows Release that wasn’t 95/98.
