Comcast goes to war over Internet regulation

Fudzilla writes: "Comcast has decided to fight an FCC ruling that it is improperly blocking customers' Web traffic.

The FCC determined that the company is violating a federal policy that guarantees unfettered access to the Internet, but Comcast challenged the this ruling in the U.S. District Court of Appeals in Washington.

Comcast claims that the FCC order and that the commission's action was "legally inappropriate and its findings were not justified by the record." If Comcast wins it will limit the ability of the FCC to stop companies capping heavy users."

Comcast is trying to institute a download limit. Why would you cheer for them?

JsonHenry6474d ago

I can't believe I am siding with the FCC on an issue. But I am.

Sophora6474d ago

sorry, read the article wrong...

MikeGdaGod6474d ago

i know, i used to work for them

FantasyStar6474d ago

I know cause I use to sell for them at a retail store.

shikwan6474d ago (Edited 6474d ago )

i know cause I used to work for them too. Most of them can't understand why their service was interrupted when the didn't pay their bill for more than 60 days.

But yaa for the fcc!!

I cant believe americans are complaining over a 250gb a month cap. When I first hear about this I thought WTF.

I have a 40Gb cap on my usage a month and I dont even come anywhere near that. Not to mention we probebly pay more for it in the UK.

What the hell are they compaining about? 8.3Gb a day is huge. If you are going over 250gb a month then you really should rethink your lifestyle.

Considering that you're probably used to bandwidth caps, etc. in the UK, it doesn't sound like that big of a deal to you.

But if you had the chance to head off the caps before they became the norm, wouldn't you at least try?

The thing that these cable operators are trying to accomplish is safeguarding their video services. Now that HD video streaming is starting to catch on, they see this as a threat to their grossly over-priced cable TV service.

Comcast in particular is bragging about how they offer more HD channels than Dish Network or DirecTV, yet the HD channels they offer are severely compressed, and not even comparable to over-the-air 1080i broadcasts.

Personally, I don't want to see bandwidth caps start becoming the status-quo. For once I'm actually rooting for the FCC having the ability to enforce net-neutrality and Internet freedom.

This is the land of the free, not the land of the capped and tiered... ;-)

You guys got faster connection.

We got to at least get something GOOD from our ISP.

Bigrhyno6474d ago

Currently 250 gigs wouldn't be much of a problem. But this will be a shot in the back to digital distribution and other internet services that are on their way to becoming bigger.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing31d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit31d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing31d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
