Another high profile internet case that seems to be dragging on forever might be coming to an end soon. The FCC is widely expected to lay the smack down on Comcast for slowing / delaying / blocking internet traffic.
Late last week, three of the five FCC commissioners voted in favor of an item saying Comcast violated federal policy by dialing down peer-to-peer traffic over its network. The ruling, which won't include a fine, will require Comcast to stop blocking or slowing traffic to peer-to-peer sites like BitTorrent, explain to consumers and the commission how it has blocked such traffic in the past, and publicly disclose how it plans to manage its network in the future.
