Here is a snip from the well regarded Ars Technica about the effort of Vuze on behalf of P2P users.

  • Here we go again... maybe. The media company that petitioned the Federal Communications Commission for an investigation of Comcast's peer-to-peer throttling practices is on the warpath once more. This time Vuze has set its sights on Cox Cable, which has made itself a pretty obvious target with its announcement in late January that it will classify P2P traffic in Kansas and Arkansas as "Non-Time Sensitive," and thus "tolerant of delay."
  • Please see the Ars site for more

    Apparently their business model is being hurt by the restrictions imposed by IPS:

  • Vuze, which describes itself as "the leading destination for downloading and viewing licensed and self-published high-resolution video content online," uses P2P tech to get its content to subscribers. The company offers programming from the BBC and PBS, as well as A&E, The History Channel, and National Geographic
  • I knew I saw that lil blue frog somewhere :-)
