It looks as though the FCC isn’t waiting around for Congress to pass specific net neutrality laws. From everyone’s favorite supermarket tabloid The Wallstreet Journal:
The Federal Communications Commission will rule that the cable giant violated federal policy by deliberately preventing some customers from sharing videos online via file-sharing services like BitTorrent, agency officials said. The company has acknowledged it slowed some traffic, but said it was necessary to prevent a few heavy users from overburdening its network.
I didn’t even know there was such a thing as violating federal policy. I thought something was either a federal law or it wasn’t. I do think it is a case of fraud when you sell someone something called unlimited broadband Internet and then proceed to limit it.
