Mark Cuban Calls on ISPs to Block P2P: "boaz112358 writes 'Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner, HDNet CEO, and noted gadfly is publishing on his blog that Comcast and other ISPs should block all P2P traffic, because as he says, 'As a consumer, I want my internet experience to be as fast as possible. The last thing I want slowing my internet service down are P2P freeloaders.' He complains that commercial content distributors instead of paying for their own bandwidth, are leeching off consumers who are paying for the bandwidth. As an alternative distribution method (at least for audio and video), he suggests Google video.'

Editor: If he is just looking for things to be fast, why not block all video traffic? Especially all those really big High-Def videos from places like HDNet.
