It simply amazes me when I hear something like this. I guess acceptable
use policies, blocking policy and copyright violators, IDS/IPS and so on
are also privacy intrusions. Oh, and of course the fact that each and
every resident doesn't have at least 6 Mbps dedicated to themselves is a
direct infraction on their constitutional rights to unlimited bandwidth.
Most residents recognize CCA for what it is; a method to keep their
network connection up and flowing as best as possible given the
available resources. Those resources are not the same as a commercial
ISP. Some do complain but they are the minority, and for the most part
once it is explained the reason for CCA is to *help* them they too
understand.
