Comcast’s real-world denial of service attack

Posted on February 26th, 2008

    Thanks for the excellent coverage of this event. I don’t know how you can liveblog that well. I can barely keep up with my quasi-legible longhand notes.

    I was kept of of the first part of the hearing by the Comcast DOS, but I did attend the last 3 hours of it.

    Thanks, John, but I’m actually a crappy live blogger. I just take an inaccurate, partial transcript. If you want to see some good live blogging, check Kevin Parker:
