Comcast Spanked

Well, it's official... the FCC says Comcast needs to stop blocking Internet traffic and, better still, needs to publicly disclose exactly what they are doing in the way of network management, so outsiders can gauge the reasonableness of said management (link). Naturally, Comcast's not particularly happy about this turn of events, so watch for upcoming lawsuits and/or congressional action... but it's a good starting point towards keeping the Internet free from interference by the gatekeeper Internet service providers.
