If it does win, it will be thanks to Comcast. I never thought I would have a good thing to say about that slimy company, but it looks as though we can thank them for this. What is it about cable TV companies? My experiences with them in the US were terrible and they're no better here in France where one operator went by the name of "Noos" which suited them perfectly. (An American company bought the business and re-branded the company with that name. It has since been re-sold and re-named.)
When Comcast admitted last fall that it was blocking — or slowing down, as the company preferred to call it — certain file transfers by customers, a lot of people complained that the company was unfairly discriminating against heavy Internet users.
Now it seems that the Federal Communications Commission is poised to agree.
