FCC slaps cable giant
From the Mercury News:
A divided Federal Communications Commission has ruled that Comcast violated federal policy when it blocked Internet traffic for some subscribers and has ordered the cable giant to change the way it manages its network.In a precedent-setting move, the FCC by a 3-2 vote Friday enforced a policy that guarantees customers open access to the Internet.
The commission did not assess a fine, but ordered the company to stop cutting off transfers of large data files among customers who use a special type of "file-sharing" software.
