Default FCC officially condemns Comcast

DailyTech - FCC Officially Condemns Comcast for Data Discrimination

Quote:
Comcast is on the hot seat again: FCC Chairman Kevin Martin issued a damning order (PDF) against the ISP, condemning it for its controversial “network management” practices and ordering it to stop. “Would you be OK with the post office opening your mail, deciding they didn’t want to bother delivering it, and hiding that fact by sending it back to you stamped ‘address unknown – return to sender’?” asked Martin in a statement. “Or if they opened letters mailed to you, decided that because the mail truck is full sometimes, letters to you could wait, and then hid both that they read your letters and delayed them?”
“Unfortunately, that is exactly what Comcast was doing with [its] subscribers’ Internet traffic,” he said.
good... nail these bastards...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

OMG, could this mean the FCC is finally growing balls? Comcast is playing a really shitty game, it's about time the FCC did some intervention.
