Comcast Appeals FCC's Net Neutrality Ruling

Posted by timothy on from the makes-one-long-for-tin-cans-and-string dept.

Ian Lamont writes "Comcast has filed a court appeal of an FCC ruling that says the company can't delay peer-to-peer traffic on its network because it violates FCC net neutrality principles. A Comcast VP said the FCC ruling is 'legally inappropriate,' but said it will abide by the order during the appeal while moving forward with its plan to cap data transfers at 250 GB per month."

    What? That's less than an order of magnitude of orders of magnitude. Well within slashdot's desired accuracy.
