I agree. If Martin had pushed the FCC to do something more than this hand slap, he would have lost in court for sure. He is still hoping Comcast won't sue despite this weak censure. -- My BLOG .. ..

If they had disclosed that their Internet Access service included manipulation of certain types of traffic, they would have been in the clear. With the marekt-driven philosophy of the FCC, consumers then would use informed decision-making as to whether they should take their business elsewhere.
