Comment on The new Comcast Xbox Xfinity app is the first nail in net neutrality’s coffin

Comments

Just another point of the Xfinity app's disregard to Net Neutrality is the sensing of "viewership". By "viewership" I mean switching video inputs and finding a nice network error upon returning to xfinity app's input. This was tested yesterday with an HD enabled Samsung and 1st gen Xbox360. I imagine this is just a preview of what is to come when Kinect enabled commercials stop entirely if you are not physically looking at the tv and restart the video so, you have to view in full in order to progress. Can you imagine starbucks making you have to watch a commercial before you drink your macchiato?!
