manchicken here…

I got this response from Mediacom today when I got home, it is dated June 2nd.

Dear Ms. Bowers,

This letter is in response to a follow-up letter that we received from Michael David Stemle, Jr., which your office was copies on, involving the high-speed data service that Mr. Stemle receives from Mediacom. While the complaint involves facets of Internet access service not currently regulated by the Commission, I would like to inform the Commission of Mediacom’s response.

In the complaint the customer classifies Mediacom’s practices as involving deep packet inspection, and makes a moral argument against such a practice.

Mediacom must inspect packets of information to some degree in order to send customers to the web pages that they request. Mediacom operates in accordance with applicable laws and operates its service in a way that works well for the Internet-using community that it serves.

I will now consider the matter closed. Should you or Mr. Stemle need any further information, please contact me using the information below.

Sincerely, James McKnight

I find it interesting that this guy goes out of his way repeatedly to remind the FCC of how impotent they are in this matter. I am currently considering my response, and will likely post it here upon putting it in the mail.
