Time Warner Cable – Changes Their Tune Again and it’s Not Looking Good for You or Me
From the Mercury News comes this update on Time Warner Cable’s plans: Group says Time Warner cable terms may hamper use of Internet
Time Warner Cable has issued new terms for its subscribers’ Internet use that may let it cut or reduce service for customers using rivals’ video and telephone applications, a public interest group said.
The changed language “raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to an Internet free of discrimination,” Washington, D.C.-based Public Knowledge said Monday in a statement. It called for a federal investigation.
Alex Dudley, a spokesman for Time Warner Cable, the second-largest U.S. cable-television company, said the terms of service tell customers “things we are doing or may do in the future to manage our network.” He wouldn’t say when they were updated.
A job well done by Stop the Cap for ferreting out this information and publicizing the changes.

Of course, it’s amusing that Alex refused to comment much on when the changes were made, in addition to pooh-poohing their intent. This is, as we’ve always said, a relentless march towards consumption based billing.
We know it. You know it. They know it. So we have to stop them… again.
