I believe that the Adobe Flash Media Server uses port 1935. Verizon just looks for increase in traffic on port.

You can watch the signal deteriorate every time, even if you are next to the very tower feeding your connection. Seems they have an algorithm that sees your feed source and throttles the connection. As soon as I kill that feed it goes back to full connection status….

i am all for freeing up more spectrum but it should come with use or lose stipulations to make sure the public benefits. in my opinion until the extisting spectrum has been used any new spectrum should only be able to be bid on by alternative startup telecos and not hoarders AT&T and verizon.

Especially, if it means that “we” would get back very the valuable broadcasting spectrum. With data hungry devices like tablets and handsets becoming more common – how are companies like AT&T and Verizon going to support it’s customer base?

As for the local broadcast companies there might be a “second life” on YouTube or Vimeo?
