AT&T's New Copyright Protection Plan: Read Everyone's Data!

In addition to running a massive network of its own, AT&T runs a good chunk of the backbone infrastructure in the US. It's a rare bit of traffic that can make it to its destination without passing on to an AT&T-owned network. If the company deploys its anti-piracy technology to all data passing through its networks, AT&T's "solution" could affect most US Internet users. In addition, many US residents have limited broadband choices.

There's always somebody to plug the hole if push comes to shove.
Lucky here in Uk we got laods of ISP to choose from.

It would seem that encryption would prevent the implementation of this plan,
however traffic shaping might work, but they are cutting their nose off to spite their face when they constrict bandwidth.

404 error.

I guess AT&T was mad we revealed their secret

I wonder if WideOpenWest is an ISP that doesn't have anything to do with AT&T? If so I should be fine LOL
