Comcast fires back over Xfinity TV on Xbox 360, says no way, no how it’s violating net neutrality

Complaints by Netflix’s Reed Hastings and a handful of politicians must have rankled Comcast CTO Tony Werner, as he just posted a particularly detailed explanation of why Comcast believes the Xfinity TV app on the Xbox 360 isn’t violating net neutrality . We’d previously heard the argument that the Xfinity app’s traffic is simply being routed through Comcast’s internal network and isn’t the same as the Internet data of Netflix , but Werner now contends that the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) tags that some think are breaking FCC rules by favoring Xfinity video are really just necessary switches

UK gets official Top 100 music streaming chart next week, Billboard seen crying in the corner

Used to be, musicians were judged (commercially speaking, of course) by how much radio play they got and how many albums and singles they sold.

Color announces Verizon partnership, preaches the dream of streaming HD

Color founder Bill Nguyen describes the startup’s early life as being “in the wilderness,” a state, he adds, that can also be used to describe past projects he’s helmed (a point we can’t exactly argue). Of course, Lala finally found its way — eventually being scooped up by Apple . And now Color , an app that’s already lived through its share of lives, has a big name on its side.
