Que es?
The Weblog of Brett Singer. Bringing the world what it needs most - a blog.

Note: Sorry about all of the 'hot deals' entries (someone referred to this blog as CorporateShill.com).
The deals and things are being fed into Multineedia.com. We will soon move the deals category over to Multineedia so you don't have to read it, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

    Blocking Skype

    Keeping Skype @Bay from InternetNews.com:

    Atlanta-based Verso Technologies last week announced the introduction of a carrier grade tool or 'application filter' designed to let cable operators and other IP service providers "selectively disable undesirable network traffic and improve service levels on their networks," according to a press release. The product is aimed specifically at peer-to-peer (p2p) applications, such as VoIP, instant messaging, conferencing, and other types of streaming media.
    Skype is the poster child for such 'undesirable' traffic, from the point of view of facilities based network operators, as the VoIP technology provider and its peers bring no network capacity to the party; they essentially piggyback on others' pipes.

    Wonder if this is going to matter. Will enough ISPs adopt it?
