Net Neutrality Ideas Enforced

FCC slaps Comcast’s wrist over network neutrality; Sets precedent

The Federal Communications Commission on Friday ruled 3-2 that Comcast overstepped its network management authority by blocking BitTorrent peer to peer traffic, but stopped short of fining the cable company. The move clarifies the boundaries a bit for other carriers and sends the message that the FCC enforces network neutrality principles.

This is good news. It means there is now precedent for the FCC to enforce the idea that service providers should treat all info flowing through the 'Net as equal.
