Last month, when the Recording Industry Association of America said it intends to work with broadband companies to sanction alleged pirates, the plan raised a host of questions.
One of the biggest was which service providers were willing to work with the RIAA. At first, the major ISPs denied wanting anything to do with the plan. But now, Cnet is reporting that two large ISPs -- Comcast and AT&T -- are on board with the initiative.
Neither company has made it official, but Cnet's sources say that both are going to forward takedown notices to alleged file-sharers and then impose sanctions including, potentially, service disconnection.
