Comment Re:They can already throttle encrypted traffic. (Score 1) 268

Rogers customer here. My SSH connection to work frequently got throttled to the point of usable (Try typing a character in vim, and it showed up 5 seconds later), while BT traffic is getting a passable speed around 30-40 KB/sec minimum (using uTorrent with encryption enabled).

Rogers still have a lot of work to do, but I guess they are too busy injecting message to web sites "informing" their customer they have exceed their monthly bandwidth cap and it's time to pay up... Yes, just got one of those this morning

Beware the Apple iPhone iHandcuffs 406

Nrbelex writes "Randall Stross makes a fresh and surprisingly accurate review of one of the biggest "features" in the upcoming iPhone and the iPod in general, 'fairplay'. Stross writes, 'If "crippleware" seems an unduly harsh description, it balances the euphemistic names that the industry uses for copy protection. Apple officially calls its own standard "FairPlay," but fair it is not.... You are always going to have to buy Apple stuff. Forever and ever.' Can mainstream media coverage help the battle over DRM or will this warning, like those of the pas, continue to go unnoticed?"
