Martin Wants FCC Yellow Card Against Comcast for Violating Net Neutrality

Props to FCC Chair Kevin Martin for putting some very small enforcement teeth into the FCC's four Net Neutrality principles, which he had said at the time of adoption were "unenforceable." He proposes no fine against Comcast for throttling BitTorrent peer-to-peer traffic, but that the cable ISP 'fess up and not do it anymore. Should Martin get the other FCC Commissioners to go along with his proposal, it could create an extremely important and valuable precedent, as well as a giant battle over what constitutes "discrimination" versus "reasonable network management," which is how Comcast defines its actions. “The commission has never before provided any guidance on what it means by ‘reasonable network management,” said Comcast.
