		<description><![CDATA[The story that the new BitTorrent client uTorrent 2.0 is “network friendly” is making the top headlines on the Web and mailing lists.  The only problem with this story it that it has no actual data to back up its assertions.  I took the time yesterday to run some tests on the new uTorrent 2.0 beta [...]]]></description>

I have to admit that I was surprised at the speed at which I&#8217;ve been attacked on my latest FCC filing &#8220;Guide to protocol agnostic network management schemes&#8220;.  Within hours of my filing, Robb Topolski who now works for Public Knowledge wrote an attack blog [...]]]></description>
