That's because they didn't violate a law or regulation, just some vague "policy statement" that has no teeth.
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.

Re: No Law = No Fine

Yes, it sounds to me that the Commission is saying their transgression wasn't that they were doing something illegal; rather, it was a "truth in advertising" issue. 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.
