Is Net neutrality dead? (FAQ)

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Abstract

A federal appeals court decision against the Federal Communications Commission has left many people wondering if the open Internet's days are numbered.

The FCC said in 2008 that Comcast had illegally slowed its customers' Bit Torrent traffic. Comcast, which changed its practices voluntarily before the FCC took action, claimed it was simply managing its network. The cable giant appealed the FCC's order to clear its name and set the record straight.
