I wonder if it would be better for subs to just get a VPN service like Private Internet access, and stream through there? Comcast cant see or filter what's inside a tunnel. They can still cap bandwidth though. I use this to stream content from TV stations in the UK and Canada that are blocked by USA DRM bullies like Syfy.
My biggest issue with this compromise is that it further solidifies the "Big business" model. My provider is a local cable company (Imon). Great service, money stays in town, I get 65mps. But they don't have HBO GO yet, and they don't have agreements with things like Xbox and big networks like the big guys have. So a Netflix agreement might not be available.
The big guys are crushing anyone that wants to be a great small provider through back room deals like this.
