Is Gaming Considered a Stream in Net Neutrality?

by nwilson Apr 3, 2006 11:39PM PDT

Hi there, there has been a large amount of talk regarding content providers and the idea of paying more to ensure that your streaming content reaches your intended customers. I have a question though -- is gaming considered a stream? My connection on Xbox Live is .. well constant .. and I am sure connections to WOW servers is higher then any video stream served up by Google Video or uTube? I'd hate to see the telco's latch onto this though. I could be wrong, but for me -- it's just data, however I get it.
