FCC Chief Says Comcast Violated Internet Rules

Posted by kdawson on from the score-one-for-net-neut dept.

Several readers sent in word that the FCC chairman, Kevin Martin, is calling for sanctions and enforcement actions against Comcast for resetting BitTorrent traffic. "Mr. Martin will circulate an order recommending enforcement action against the company on Friday among his fellow commissioners, who will vote on the measure at an open meeting on Aug. 1... Martin, a Republican, will likely get support from the two Democrats on the commission, who are both proponents of the network neutrality concept. Those three votes would be enough for a majority on the five-member commission."

      You are wrong. Kevin Martin does not rule.

      Kevin Martin is owned and operated by the big telcos. The only reason that he is railing against the cable companies is because they threaten the business models of his puppet masters. He proves this to be the case every time he opens his mouth.
