| Comcast Caught, Denies Blocking Traffic Comcast has been accused of blocking traffic several times in its history and may have even admitted to more than the straight up P2P blocking we all knew about. But late yesterday, Comcast finally got it’s comeuppance. Sort of. Kevin Martin, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and close personal friend to the cable competitors, the telecom industry, could take no more.
So this morning he’s circulating an enforcement order that says that Comcast blocked network traffic and that such traffic blocking needs to stop. The enforcement order was prompted by a complaint from the non-profit group, Free Press, and the Commission will vote on the order at an open meeting on Aug. 1. The order would require Comcast to stop blocking traffic, provide the FCC details on how and how often traffic blocking was used and give consumers detailed information on how Comcast plans to manage its network in the future.
