Of course, my company filter keeps blocking the whole post because it has the word BitTorrent in it, but here is what I have gathered so far. Comcast is no longer going to have its filters "targeting BitTorrnet on the internet" and will supposedly "boost broadband capacity" to keep up with demand. In return, BitTorrent has pledged to make its software "more efficient". (big deal, they already try to improve efficiency since it increases speed) Apparently, there is also a catch, Comcast still plans to manage their traffic and is "working hard on a different approach that is protocol-agnostic during peak periods." Since I can’t read anymore into this while I’m at work, I am sure I will have an update later on [Engadget]
