Comcast's 250GB Limit Is An Insult To Internet Age Consumers
1:46 PM EDT Fri. Aug. 29, 2008
The broadband and cable TV giant's 250 Gbyte cap is a Luddite like move to legislate how much data users can send and receive. Congratulations Comcast for bringing us all back to the time share mainframe computing model.
This is the work of executives that are completely out of touch with the technology landscape and the up and coming cloud computing consumer that wants to do anything and everything on the Web from paying their bills to storing any and all of their photos, music files..etc.
It is not overstating it to say this is an attack on the technology that represents our best best hope for driving an economic resurgence.
The first rule of the Internet age is you can't and shouldn't legislate data usage. And by the way God help those that try to do just that. This is going to backfire on Comcast.
The cable TV giant stands to lose hundreds of thousands of customers. What do you think customers are going to make of company that threatens them with a call from the Comcast Customer Security Assurance (CCSA) group if they cross the 250 Gbyte barrier?
The CCSA! Come on. Are you guys serious? It sounds like something out of George Orwell's 1984? 1984. That is just where Comcast has taken us all with this stupid 250 Gbyte limit.
