FCC chief again critiques Comcast net tactics

:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. communications regulator said on Tuesday that an investigation of how Comcast Corp manages its network had raised further concerns about tactics the company has used to restrict Internet users who share movies and other material.
Testifying before Senate lawmakers, U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin said Comcast had used a "blunt" technique to impose broad restrictions on peer-to-peer file-sharing.
"Contrary to some claims, it does not appear that this technique was used only to occasionally delay traffic at particular nodes suffering from network congestion at that time," Martin said in prepared remarks before the Senate Commerce Committee.

  1. mollifire says i always do a double take when i see Kevin Martin's name mentioned. he's such a public figure, so his name comes up frequently. but he happens to have the same name as one of my fave musicians: The Bug! These 2 people couldn't be more different however... interesting report. thanks so much for posting it here and thanks for the link. verrrrry interesting.
