FCC will investigate Comcast on Net Neutrality

Thank you if you were one of the more than 23,000 people who demanded the Federal Communications Commission stop Comcast from blocking Web traffic. The FCC announced that it would investigate the cable company's Net Neutrality violation.

The FCC is seeking public comment before it decides to punish Comcast. By speaking out now, you can force the FCC to stop all the would-be gatekeepers from tampering with the free-flowing Internet: Here's a link that will let you comment to the FCC: Protect the Open Internet.

For some background on this issue, see Comcast: The Hammerer and the Hammeree.

Perhaps you're not a Comcast user and think that this doesn't matter to you. A leaked memo from Time Warner shows they are considering the same dirty trick. See ars tecnica for more.
