Any company that tells the government regulator to go to hell should be btch-slapped and broken up into tiny little pieces and sold off.
Wait, they did that to AT&T and look how well that worked out. Nevermind...

Re: Comcast, the new AT&T
A shame the company didn't go through with the early plans (when they first started talking about buying AT&T Broadband) to name the company "AT&T Comcast" |

| C,C,better be careful about pushing
, the cable giant is now arguing that even if their traffic shaping does violate the FCC's policy statement, the FCC lacks the authority to do anything about it.
Weather the F.C.C. does or doesn't have the authority, Castrate, (I mean comcast) had better step gently, the F.C.C. is the authority that hold the licence of each station in its power,they can suspend or at make it very hard on comcast,and since WHEN does or can a private company dictate over how a gov't agency is run.
maybe the F.C.C. need to know Comcast back down a peg or 2.

Re: C,C,better be careful about pushing
Isn't that a slap in the face to the FCC. Before you know it everyone will start to tell the FCC to just kiss off, I will do what I want and you will like it. We have a lot of big battles going on right now with all the ISP's, if the FCC doesn't step up and give a good hard look at everything and make sure all the rules are clear "in Black and White" they will lose any control of anything and we are all going to get screwed in the end. I think now is the time they need to set a example just to let everyone know just who they are.I think this could really hurt the FCC if they dont act hard on this and act very hard so EVERYONE hears it. |

said by whocares  :the F.C.C. is the authority that hold the licence of each station in its power,they can suspend or at make it very hard on comcast Comcast isn't a broadcaster like ABC, NBC, KYW, WPVI, etc. They don't have a LICENSE from the FCC that can be suspended. What power the FCC has comes from the Congress when they deregulated cable TV. The power is relatively limited. And when a cable company hasn't liked what the FCC is doing they went to Federal court and won.
So, the FCC is pretty much a toothless tiger unless & until Congress passes new laws that changes that.

Even if the FCC had authority, gov't agencies can't respond in a vindictive manner. So what if CC was rude, as long as they didn't fail to respond to a legal request/order the FCC would be unable to punish them just for being rude. |

WRONG!!!
Don't show your ignorance by stating things you know nothing about! Congress specifically GAVE the FCC the power to regulate cable. There's an entire division of the FCC just FOR cable! have you ever heard of the cable bureau? Obviously not... |

When a company feels like they are big enough to push the FCC around it's time they are put in their place.
It's just a matter of time before the FCC puts these idiots in their place. They have it coming. |

Their power is very limited and when they have exercised it, they got slapped down in court.

There is the Video Division of the Media Bureau which handles Cable TV. But that certainly is not their only responsibility.
