FCC Chair Kevin Martin Scolds Comcast for P2P Tomfoolery

John Paczowski over at AllThingsD reports on the FCC’s pending action against Comcast for violation of net neutrality pricinciples in blocking P2P filesharing traffic.

The problem with “principles” is that they pre-suppose integrity, which is not an integral component of capitalism. Comcast will almost certainly mount a legal appeal to any action taken by the FCC, since there is no body of legislation laying out a framework and accountability for net neutrality.

From WSJ:

“You can’t enforce this because there aren’t any rules,” said Comcast spokeswoman Sena Fitzmaurice. “It violates all sorts of due processes in the way you are supposed to create rules.”

  • NEW YORK - Comcast Corp. actively interferes with attempts by some of its high-speed Internet subscribers to share files online, a move that runs counter to the tradition of treating all types of Net traffic equally.
