Some interesting bits of news and buzz are streaking around the tech world this week.
I keep hearing that the FCC is all set to punish Comcast in some undisclosed and possibly uninforcable way for its attempts to control Internet bandwidth. Common Cause published Comcast Punished by FCC for Violating Net Neutrality. The article says,
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) met this week at Stanford University to talk about network management or net neutrality. The specific issue was Comcast's well publicized habit of deciding what information makes it through their broadband pipes and what does not.
Comcast hammered a nail into the concept of net neutrality this week, prompting all the people who have worked so hard to achieve net neutrality to stand up and yell, "We told you there oughta be a law!" In a bad news, funny news two-for-one punch this week, Comcast was also on the other end of a hammer.
