Comcast makes amends for filesharing woes

May 23, 2008 Author: Matthew | Filed under: Filesharing

Comcast finally decided to play ball when it comes to filesharing and BitTorrent, news has emerged that Comcast is teaming up with Pando Networks to draw up a bill of rights for Internet users and ISPs.

Pando will reportedly be assisting Comcast in how it manages its Internet traffic. Pando uses a P2P filesharing protocol with files stored on and served up by users. The protocol works in a similar way to programs such as eMule.

Comcast has said that it will soon announce results from tests being conducted on its network to analyze how filesharing programs operate.

This signals yet more positive steps for Comcast with regards to filesharing. As we all know, Comcast has been under fire for allegedly limited access to filesharing services.

It’s yet to be made clear how Comcast’s new system will work or how it will affect its subscribers, but it will be interesting to see what the study brings up.
