Dave, I find this quite alarming, but I shouldn't. Should I. "Without fully cutting off access to unaffiliated sites, the technology allows a cable company to make such destinations appear much more slowly on customers' computers than preferred sites, Cisco claimed in brochures distributed at a recent appear much more slowly on customers' computers than preferred sites, Cisco claimed in brochures distributed at a recent..." You might recall my posting a hypothetical case upstream (about a month and a half ago, somewhere here in LM), stating how I thought it was conceivable to do context based screening and value-add (selective QoS) at the ad banner level, by the providers of DSL and other forms of dialup. In so doing, advertisers could cut deals with the facilities based last mile providers, as opposed to the ISPs, themselves. What the above quote from your message (italics) implies is something similar, but with the inverse effect. Do you suppose that this is url specific, or is it done by looking at the upper Layer headers a al Layer 4/5 keyed? Any idea?
