Camiant joins Comcast traffic shaping team

Bandwidth caps or throttling on mobile data is likely to draw just as big an uproar as on landline networks, despite the fact that metered usage has always been more excepted on mobile networks.

Just this week, T-Mobile faced heavy criticism when it was revealed that the terms of service on its “unlimited” data land on the just-announced G1 Android-based device actually had a 1Gb per month cap. T-Mobile removed the cap on Thursday – though whether it, or other mobile operators, will be able to offer unrestrained access in the long run remains to be seen.
