Online Exclusive:Comcast and Pando Networks to Create Peer-to-Peer Bill of Rights
By Samuel Fineman
Comcast Corporation and Pando Networks, Inc. announced late last month that they will lead an industry-wide effort to create a peer-to-peer Bill of Rights and Responsibilities (“BRR”) for P2P users and Internet Service Providers. The two companies plan to collaborate and engage with industry experts, other ISPs and P2P companies, content providers and others to set a framework for the BRR that can serve as best practices. The purpose would be to clarify what choices and controls consumers should have when using P2P applications as well as what processes and practices ISPs should use to manage P2P applications running on their networks.
