Comcast Throttling to be Subject of FCC Hearing
If you've been reading this site, you'll recall the throttling of P2P traffic that the EFF and AP proved (http://technologyexpert.blogspot.com...-spot-isp.html) Comcast was doing. You'll also recall that Comcast modified (http://technologyexpert.blogspot.com...ervice-to.html) their Terms of Service to acknowledge (and justify) throttling. On Monday the FCC has a meeting scheduled to discuss, as they call it, "Broadband Network Management Practices," with representatives from Comcast and BitTorrent attending, among others.

The meeting has been moved offsite for undisclosed reasons, from the FCC's headquarters just off the National Mall in Washington to Ames Courtroom, Austin Hallon on Harvard Law School's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
